Hmmm...Let's see. That was likely a good 7 years ago then? Can't say I remember much from back then, seeing as how that was a very turbulent time for me in the fandom. Drama was at an all time high and I'll admit, I wasn't exactly hanging with the best crowd in the fandom at that time. If I have to guess, I was probably defending a friend's art at the time (or an ex-friend's) *Shrug* No hard feelings though, I guess? Sorry to say I can't recall who you were back then. I'm guessing Deuces was your past username? Vaguely rings a bell but not enough to say I'd be holding any grudges about the past art theft. Sorry if I may have come across as harsh back then. Like I said though, I wasn't associated with the best people at the time and I became a very dark and aggressively defensive person. Still strongly opinionated about art theft even today, but no longer acting as anybody's personal attack dog against it. And I've since dropped some of the friendships that seemed to fuel that aggression at the time. Truth be told, I was a pretty laid back person when I first started out on this website, and I'd like to think I've mellowed out over the past few years since that time I was running my ZADRfan1 account. The years I was running my ZADRfan1 account were the years I was most heavily influenced by some ex friends whom were dealing with issues of their own. I stay far away from that sort of drama nowadays though.
If you want to continue thinking of me as an asshole, I won't stop you. I've already accepted the fact that all that drama back then (not just with you but with some other users as well) most likely marred my reputation with a good chunk of the fandom. Now I just post for fun and to keep in touch with those who can see past my past actions. There's always two sides to every story and those who know me well were only all too aware of the manipulative relationship I had fallen into. It's unfortunate that I couldn't see it for myself at the time, but it happens.
For the record though, I never created multiple accounts for the sake of harassing users on here. If anything, they were probably side accounts I had made prior to the incident. I've got a good handful floating around this website. I wouldn't bother with creating an entire account JUST to bypass a block though. I may use them to my advantage in situations where a user it taking a jab at me before blocking like a coward, but any side accounts I had on this website were always created with the intention of showcasing my art primarily. I'm not THAT much of an obsessive prick. Like I said though, think what you want of me. I won't deny my past on here unless somebody is outrageously stretching the truth about a matter that happened back then.

P.S.-You're welcome. I'm glad you were at least able to realize the error of your ways when it came to the art theft, especially if you're pursuing a career in art. You can't grow from copying others or coloring over a work and claiming it as your own. Laziness, even as an 11 year old, isn't an excuse in my book because art requires a certain degree of dedication to it and it's not worthwhile if you get praise for something that originally belonged to another user. Referencing is one thing, but unless a person is using an actual base as a starting point for learning (obviously one that has been labeled as a free to use resource), it's never cool to take advantage of another artist's hard work. Just saying. In any case though, good luck with your future art endeavors.
