For the record, I am not against the MAEP, the MIA, Michael Fallon, Jaime Longoria, ect.
As far as the MAEP and MIA are concerned, I am thankful I can go there for nothing, as that is often what I have. We are blessed with this gift. I know very well that we could have nothing. However, from the posts on mnartists I have learned that there is some politics going on that I would not have thought about. As with anything political, there has to be someone questioning who's controlling. Again, I have submitted nothing, therefore not been rejected, and have no animosity towards them. (and when I do submit a proposal, I will not be mad for being rejected) I am aware that it is a group of people, not some phantom oppressing menace.
I benefit from the comments on both sides of this discussion. Information somewhat firsthand. I appreciate the fact that Michael Fallon puts forth his opinions here as well as Jaime Longoria. Obviously, I identify more with Longoria, who in my opinion, is no less successful than Fallon. I see a certain = here. Both are capable of intellectual discussion, both are capable of one hell of a fight in the pit.
And, Mr. Fallon, I am coming from a standpoint of naive and innocent views. Mine are forming. The fact that you provided an explanation of feeling that you had not properly represented your views, and thus edit, is not something I can not argue against. But being that you are a critic and a professional writer, of course you're getting scrutinized by artists. And I will state that any artist that has a good understanding of art, and then quits, takes away from the rest. This is my opinion and my belief. You have an art scene, you have an artist capable of contributing good work, it like the old "its my football, and i'm going home with it". I seriously doubt you sucked. A lot of artist kill their art becuase of ego, not that I'm saying you did, but I have seen it happen repetively. Well, good day.
