After giving some thought into my previous journal, I have decided the best course of action would be to remove it.
This was entirely my choice and was not prompted by anyone other than myself.
While my opinions and statements have not changed nor has any contact been made from the opposite end, I felt as though things have escalated beyond my intended purpose of said journal (to warn to followers and artists about a lack of professionalism from a company within the fandom) and things began to dig much deeper than I was comfortable handling.
While I am upset about what transpired, I want to assert that I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of call the Tumblr-esque call out culture and as it stands, the comments and attitudes in the journal were beginning to make me feel uneasy about the situation. I began to feel that expressing my personal interaction with said company was going to cause an excessive backlash against them and that is absolutely not what I am about, to put it bluntly. While I am incredibly bothered by their interactions with me, I am not out to start a campaign against them (I explained this in said journal, as well). I am a business owner myself so when I began to see some pretty heated discussion about said company and personal information/encounters with it's owner being shared, I felt that the issue had grown beyond just my experience and beyond what I was willing to deal with. While I may have had a personal dispute with the site's owner, I do not condone harassment or attacks on their character. This is not the way I choose to use my influence within the community nor was it my intended purpose. With that said, I hope people can respect and understand my choice to remove the journal. Rest assured, I do have a copy of the journal saved and tucked away if the need for it ever arises, but I don't think that will be any time soon.
To give the summary of what said journal contained; I am no longer using the prints service I had before in the past and will not be doing so in the future. If customers would like to have prints of their commissions made, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you locate the means to do so!
not sure what journal you are talking about or what was said, but that is actually the reason why call out journals are banned on FA. You get people like an artist calling out someone for say something like... "this person copied my char!!!" Even if it was only the same base color and generic species, you'd have people harrassing and attacking said person. I know some people complain about it being banned, but I'm glad it is,\. no more personal armies and the good outweighs the bad xwx
This was not a call out journal directed at an FA user but rather a cautionary tale about an off site print service website and was kept completely within FA's TOS. Staff did not ask me to remove it, I decided to on my own.
