I haven't personally attached anyone here but see where standing up for something will get me.

All that "standing up for something" got you was some valid different opinions. I don't feel that you were personally attacked, even though I was willing to put your name in my post.

Unlike others who think I'm being self important...

I wrote that you "come off as self important.." That is the impression I got reading your disdain for other arts, crafts, or businesses that include or compete with lettering but don't measure up to how you letter.

Since you edited all text out of your posts, could it be that you found them to be giving the wrong impression of where you want us to see that you are coming from?

For some of the friends I've made here, I will see you around at the meets. For the rest of you have a nice life.

I don't feel personally attacked, but when I attend meets with hopes to exchange knowledge I may have to offer for exposure to hand lettering, I'll hope I've made some friends here as well.

My apologies if my posts have caused a downturn in the "tone" of this thread. I am new to participating in a BB, and felt that when I have a response I want to make that I should feel free to do so.
