You know, Lecrayon, I do wish he would reconsider. I'm sorry his work was rejected. As you know, mine has been rejected and scrutinized too.
But I learned that by posting something like this to the message board just opens you up to ridicule.
If he has a complaint with being rejected then he should email the admins and discuss it with them privately. It really is the only way to solve these problems. I learned that the hard way.
Once you post it to an open forum like this, you run the risk of being poked fun at. It happened to me, it's happened to others, and it will continue to happen.
P.S.
If you reread the post by elvee you will see that he is actually making fun of me when I ended my first post with 'Live well, bring peace, have fun. '

I took it in the good humor that it was intended. I'm used to being made fun of. I just made a joke back at elvee.

No big deal.
