I’m kind of pissed no one showed me what pictures we are talking about.

Not that pissed, and I’ll get it over it in thirty seconds, but…yea I’m
still curious.

Why do you think they want so badly to prove that those pictures are
your, Jim? It just doesn't make sense. What sort of proof are they
supposedly offering?

Now, I don't believe this crap for a minute, but isn't the whole
argument sort of self-defeating? If you were this "JK", wouldn't you
have good reason to maintain your anonimity and preserve your
credibility as an artist? The only result of trying to "out" you would
be to discredit, shame, and ultimately destroy you as an artist. Both
you and JK would disappear from the fandom. Where's the gain in that?

However, if you were not JK, they will only succeed in angering you
beyond tolerance, and cause you to abandon the furry fandom
altogether. Again, where's the gain?

The most prudent course of action would be for everyone to just forget
this and let it go in order to move on and get back to what this group
and that board are for- the showcasing of art, and the appreciation of
great talents such as our very own James M. Hardiman.
