[Jeremy Garchow] "I have done nothing wrong here. If you don't like me for whatever reason, that's is fine, but please don't make assumptions on what you think my employment situation might be."
The thing is Jeremy, we all like you. You "were"
always a completely reliable and supportive ally on the FCP Forum. Then, the skimmer came along...
So, now you hear guys like Shane, Rafael, and myself responding to some of your posts in ways that make you question our Garchow brand loyalty, and naturally you think we must not like you anymore. I get it... It's not true, but I get it.
[Jeremy Garchow] "It has not been easy (or cheap) but the world has survived. And we too, will survive this. Right?"
It is precisely on this point where we differ. An entire ecosystem system has been brought to its knees, without any warning, and when that happens extinctions are inevitable. And, contrary to what you and others on this forum keep repeating, and repeating, and repeating, it's not just the old, the weak, and the infirmed who suffer in times like these.
The bones of Tyrannosaurs and the teeth of Megalodons are the only relics of those bad boys (and girls) that remain to tell their tale, and they were not inferior, untalented, old, or too set in their ways. To continue to suggest that this unexpected event will not prove to be a cataclysm for many very talented artists is simply blindness, insensitivity, or both.
And, any of you who want to argue that they'll be better off after the shakeout may be in for a rude awakening. There are no "agile" or "more nimble" dinosaurs ruling the Earth today; their bones lay right beside their bigger dinosaur competitors, and they're just as dead and just as extinct.
