"not in disguise at all... that's the online name I use on for personal email and most of my online stuff."
> Please explain why you posted in the other thread in the third person, commenting like you were an observer and criticizing thread participants. You should have disclosed your relationship to Aquent at that time.
"But can I ask why people are so hateful and full of rage that they feel they must personally attack someone they do not know?"
> And you didnt earn that? See above. Plus you were defending someone who had angered this community (don't forget that creatives are also your customers) by soliciting spec work, and who when called out for his poor decision offered a very condescending and insincere apology.
"Not just me, but I see LOTS of vitriolic attacks here and on other sites. I don't see any of you using your real names here (and Judi is my real name), yet you are saying things that might make your mothers' cringe."
> I believe there were only a few people who made comments of this nature. Why don't you respond to the majority of the posts which have some substance behind them.
"And why? Because you didn't like the fact that someone tried to hold a contest (which I didn't even know about until after the face... it came from our HQ and I'm out in a region). Ok, I agree they didn't think it through carefully enough and they withdrew it."
> I'm glad we agree on something.
"But did they personally harm you? Personally condemn you in a public forum?"
> I suppose the same could be said of the "Vitriolic attacks on here and other sites" that you commented about above. Which is supposedly what brought you here -- you were just defending what was right!
"And If you feel that I have wronged you, pick up the phone and we'll talk it through; I'll listen to your side, and you listen to mine and we'll each either gain some insight, or we'll agree to disagree. I sincerely would love to talk with you. There is far too much real hatred and enmity in the world... we needn't add more."
> Once again, more insincerity from Aquent. The anger here is well deserved.
