However people need to remember this is an internet forum. Simply ignore those who are aggressive, trolling etc.
Everyone's opinion is valid. If you don't agree with it, that doesn't matter, have an adult discussion about it.
If you can't do that then simply don't respond.
Every individual is responsible for their own actions.

If you can't do that then simply don't respond. Every individual is responsible for their own actions. How can people not agree with what you just wrote? Personally i think people just get tired of the money discussion all the time. And perhaps some get a bit frustrated that prices are out of reach? (I know i am on both parts...) If you don't like the money talk then don't get involved!
Frustrated that pieces are out of reach, I'm sure everyone on here at some point has felt that. However we are all adults (I think?) and as such you get on with your life.
Its a pretty piece of paper at the end of the day really not worth getting upset over. I think we can all agree there are many things more important in the world.

I think people have the right to sell things on the sale section without the risk of derailment of the thread. ..mods (are there any actually modding?) Could be tougher on this.
I don't own official banksy. I'd like to one day. But owners of whatever artist have a vested interest, big or small, consciously or subconsciously. It's nice when it's declared 'I think that's cheap, but I'm biased since I own it.' People, new members, should take discussion and prices with a pinch of salt and do their research since its their money. Ditto about hyping.
I think the 2 members that left should come back. And they will. Everyone does. Enjoyed reading their posts.

Andy has a reputation to worry about as it's his business and doesn't want to be accused of market manipulation. It's really a different scenario from most other posters.

There will always be discussion about money. ..maybe it overshadows the actual art most of the time here.
Think the issue br mentioned was transparency. I see thr point but you can't always have this when people want confidentiality too.

I think people are always going to be called up on bad practice, whether it's hyping, over pricing, buying just to resell, or whatever. If you don't like accusations, then be more transparent in how you operate (not aimed at anybody).

People being less than honest about things, swizzes, scams.
A forum should be about sharing a passion, interest, not a stock exchange
I used to dabble in stocks on line when I had too much money and a lot of time, and the forums were very similar, justifying prices, slagging other peoples view points.
There are and were some very genuine people who hate to think people are being taken advantage of, and will give little warnings.
After a while I suppose its like swimming up hill, and its easier to just have a glass of wine and read a good book
anyhow i am waffling again

The judge will have to decide if any remarks have damaged her reputation and for someone anonymous they would have to show themselves.
If the remarks were personal, her agent might be annoyed.
Regarding art I thought people have the right to say what they think about a painting or sculpture or urinal.
