Must have scared the art of poor devilbiss - he had to change his name, but I'm not allowed to use it? What to do, what to do?


No I' just thought Daniel sounds better than Devilbiss...it's a brand name for spray guns etc.
Most people read it as Devil Bliss which is wrong and gives out the wrong impression.
I got angry when you used my full name in the title of this stupid thread because when people search for me on google the original title of this thread comes up.
My name is not there for you to use or to make fun of.
Why did you use my name in the first place?
Why did you target me in particular?
I have a wide taste in art and really don't care if a curator used these sorts of exhibits in the exhibition.
I don't want stupid threads such as this one showing up when someone uses my name in a search.
How old are you Stefan...fifty? when are you going to grow up?

Never. That would be the most stupid thing to do in this world. What about you?

I think that using my full name in the original title of this thread was the wrong thing to do.
I have made attempts to find out more about it.
I think it is the wrong thing to do as the original title shows up in a google search using my name and after reading your first post people might be led to beleive that I have certain opinions about art, when in fact I don't.
I make my living out of art and I don't want anything to compromise that.

The link that you provided has absolutely nothing to do with what I am talking about.

The link that I am providing has everything to do with what you are talking about. It shows what I've always thought about you.
Of course what I say in that link can also be interpreted in a way that can affect your reputation. But you have to try really hard, the same as with the original post that isn't there anymore.
It's hard to admit you're wrong, I know. It's hard to let go as well. But we'll have to leave it here. It's getting boring.

The link that you provided directing people to another art forum has nothing to do with what I was referring to.

I don't really care what you think about me.
Please don't use my full name as you did in the original title of this post.

This whole ridiculous thread was boring right from the start.
It was nothing but a failed attempt to ridicule me, and I don't think that anyone would find that particularly fascinating

Sad Sigh....

Stefan: Daniel has a valid point - using ANYBODY's real name in the subject of a post will show up on Google. It does appear to a cursory glance that whatever is written is related to that person, and may not reflect their views. It would be a good ettiquette for Forum users to avoid that in future.

Daniel: My, possibly warped and depraved, reading of Stefan's original post is that it is not necessary to produce well executed works like yours to succeed in the art world. I don't think he expressed that well and the point has been well and truly lost since.

For once, I'm going to pull rank: posts on this thread relating to ART are welcome.
