And now I'm upsetting even more Whales (prbly not the good types either).... @ladygray upvoted my Digital Art 013 piece (52% upvote with a value of $1.12 total upvote value, making it a $0.56 upvote - the highest valued unsolicited upvote I believe I have ever received).

And from what I can gather, even though 40 minutes ago she thought it was original and good enough to swing 56 cents my way, I believe she saw this article and thought, "screw that guy, he's exposing us! He doesn't deserve anything and we need to start thinking about burying him".

And the fact she has a high SP & a fairly decent voting power yet a slightly lower reputation score than I should tell you a lot about the character and intent of this user and her kind (and I've only been here a little over two weeks).
