UPDATE:

thefatman of Expansion Mansion has this to say about the controversy:

"We'd prefer to not get involved in a case of He-Said-She-Said over this. That being said, while the first comments of Inflate123 were of some concern, the more links we followed, the more concerned we became until the decision was finally made to sever Inflate123's relationship with this site.

While we're saddened by this outcome, we fell that, ultimately, it will be for the best."

I, personally, like the use of "concern" and "be for the best". What's there to be concerned about again? *goes and follows the links around on Inflate123's blog for funsies.

Shit... wait until they look at my DA page. They'll just LOOOOOVE this.

Ha ha, I made a funny.

But seriously... you don't just expect to ban Inflate123 () and not expect repercussions from others in the inflation community. But above and beyond that, you don't ban people for constructive criticism no matter how much you may not like what they have to say.

For those of you who don't know, Inflate123 has been banned from the ExpansionMansion forums as well as Bambi Blaze's sites because he made some criticisms of her work in his blog and linked to another woman who will be doing some work in the breast expansion area (Mistress Taylor). He also helped her out by providing her team some of his stock inflation sounds, and they paid him back with a few videos. All of this information is covered in his journal/blog, which you can find here ---> [link]

Now, let me get to the matter I want to talk about.... YOU DON'T BAN PEOPLE FOR CRITICISM.

When I write, I get criticism day in and day out. I come to college, take fiction workshop classes, and basically pay for other students to tell me how much my work sucks and where I could do better. And what do I do with this criticism? Do I run around like a chicken with my head cut off and bitch about how X person hurt my feelings? No, I take it and use it to improve my work. My writing has not come as far as it has without the input of many, many people.

I'm also the type of person who puts in the bottom of her artist's notes: "GIVE ME POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK." Believe it or not, I like it more when someone tells me how I can improve over someone who tells me, "That was hot, I'd rub her belly." No matter how much you want to rub her belly, I can't use that to improve my writing.

So let's move on to Bambi Blaze. I've seen her work, and I will say right off the bat that her videos are quite impressive and the props are simply darling. The whole look of the videos is a little homebrewed, in my opinion, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying the very nice special effects. Except there's this one little problem standing in the way....

SHE'S ANNOYING AS SIN.

Sometimes, I just wish Evil Man X would shove a sock in her mouth. I don't want to hear her say the same stupid lines over and over again, and I don't want to hear 4 straight minutes of her moaning as her boobs get bigger. I would really gladly write the dear a script and give her acting lessons, because I think she seriously needs them. If those videos want to progress any further than the state they are currently in (because I think they could be 10X more awesome) then they need to correct the main problem - her.

To be honest, this is a very easy fix. It's not going to take up that much time and I think she could be a very good actress once someone polishes up her skills. This would make her videos that much more enjoyable, and worth the 30 bucks a month they charge for access to her two sites.

So where does that leave us? Well, it leaves us with the Godfather of Inflation banned off of a website because he offered advice. I'm siding with him, but I know he doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. He just wants to move along and let bygons be bygons. I applaud him for that, because if I were him I'd be pissed.

Wait a minute, I'm pissed anyway. So here's what I'm gonna do... I'm just going to skip visiting Expansion Mansion and their affiliate websites. I use to go there for their video vault (which, ironically enough, display his name, lol - nice job jerkoffs) but I don't think I'm going to go there anymore or even consider paying them money.

If they want to act like little spoiled brats who think they have the market cornered, then they got another thing coming to them. I kindly ask that all of you who give me your watches (thank you for your watches, by the way) to avoid Expansion Mansion like myself. If you have a subscription there, it would be a very nice gesture to artists like myself who cherish feedback to just end it and give them a nice reason as to why you're doing it. I know that's alot to ask as it's a very nice website, but if we don't critique ourselves we're never going to progress our art forward. We're going to stay in the same rut and only experience half-assed writers who will settle for, "Lol, I blew her up," as their entire story.

This post came off worded strongly... but I don't apologize for any of it.
