Respect for Your Fellow Artists in the Forums

20 Oct 2010 by Courtney Jordan

The forums at Artist Daily are meant to be a place for a respectful community of artists to come together. All members need to bring that mindset when coming to Artist Daily. That being said, this is a public forum, and we all need to stay aware of how we interact and the information we share.
 
It would be good for all of us to look at our privacy settings and make sure of the information we are willing to share online. Also, please think before you write. Forums can get off track because people miscommunicate and sometimes misinterpret. The forums are a place to exchange ideas in a mutually respectful way. They break down when we forget that. So please maintain the friendly, respectful manner that we all should strive to have when dealing with each other. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me.

Courtney—

I may have been less than respectful in some recent replies.

Jay DePalma  posted an open letter in the first version of "Shame on Editor Steve Doherty". In that letter he claimed that Doherty used foul language in talking to him on the phone. However the aim of the letter was to have anyone mistreated in any way by Doherty to reply to his posting so we all could be aware of Doherty' s "dark side". This happened on a weekend and was so crazy that I objected to the letter in a forceful manner. By monday he than deleted the letter.

Also I have replied to questions about copyright in a very direct way. I have had over fifty years experience as a professional artist. I have run into copyright problems and through the years I've spent a lot of time dealing with photographers and stock photos. The information I have passed on is straight copyright law and not open for artistic opinion.

Any time you see a problem with anything I have written please email me. Please feel free to delete this comment if necessary.

Not at all, Paul. I think your candor is great, and the experience you bring about copyright is really informative. If my letter has raised the community's awareness about tone and mutual respect on the forums--that's all I ask for. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in replying and thanks for participating!

Courtney
