I considered not answering your question, but silence isn't always golden, it leaves people wondering and thinking you didn't answer because you are hiding something.

Let's say that I am a friend, or family...be honest when answering this.
Would it have you saying; "That explains the passion and persistence of the post"? Most people (and it is the nature of most) to immediately discount the motive as anything other then favoritism. I have nothing to offer up, other then my word that it doesn't matter what my relationship is with someone, I pick my battles very carefully, I only engage when I believe in someone or something, based on what I know, or whole heartily believe to be true.

I have been a longtime admirer of his artwork. Having had the opportunity to see the Sean Taylor portrait, and keeping up with the news, yes I am passionate about this discussion. You will also note that I have directed my post at someone who seems intent, on bashing the painting and the artist…someone who has never seen the portrait except in a poor internet copy, and who has not (and the postings make it obvious) read the newspaper articles in their entirety, and is posting ½ truths and at times lies.

Could it be that I would be posting on other threads after the heat on this one dissipated?

I have only posted a few times. Would it make you or anyone else here more
comfortable if I made this my last post? If so, I will not be back,
allowing more time for other sites I belong to, that are more comfortable
with the fact that I do become passionate when discussing subjects I know
about, when I see someone who doesn’t.

I don't know if I have quenched your curiosity, but since it is no big deal...

P.S I live a long way from Jason Swain, and I can honestly say that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I hope to someday though.
Think what you want...no big deal

I asked a simple question and I certainly didn't attack you or your motives.

I got my answer. That's good enough for me. Good luck with the whole indignant attitude thing.
