I made this post to incite artists to share their work. You took it as a chance to.. assume i’m looking for responses.

Unless you're very, very new to the internet, then you should know that anything shared is liable to get any kind of response, and it's often not going to be quite what you want. You can't herd cats, so to speak.

You shared no work, took your chance to call me an amateur and ask for me to post less.

Like I said, I have indeed shared my work here and would be willing to do so again if more fine art was posted here. At no point did I ask you to post less, but I did mention that if the spirit of the sub was once again adhered to, then I'd be willing to contribute more.

You come here to the people contributing and tell them to go elsewhere, and then have the gall to talk about “having no engagement”.

If you go back to my original comment I'm saying no so things. This all seems to be about you feeling personally attacked even though I didn't pitch it that way. What do you mean "having no engagement," anyway?

I’m not keen to be called an amateur. By your definition I’m a professional. By mine I’m an artist.

If you're selling your art on a regular basis, then yeah... I'd call you a professional by definition. If not, then an amateur. And we're all artists, either way.

I don’t see why my sharing generously makes any impact on how you share

Well, I can only explain it so many times. I'm making no demands and not judging anyone. You'll notice I didn't judge any of your previous art contributions, and I will make sure not to do so in future, since you seem to feel very attacked.

And I can find other art communities to share to, so that's me sorted. No worries, no fuss... you just keep right on doing what you're doing, since it seems to make you happy. 👍
