So everyone in the scene should do nothing but pure ascii art in case
some cock like you mistakes their efforts as THE ENTIRE SCENE and gets
the wrong idea?

I fail to see the analogy seeing as pure ascii art is perfectly
acceptable to the ANSI scene.

Because I am a person and I can see the parallels in the art forms.
Not to mention that all ascii characters are available to ANSI artists
and frequently make up virtually their entire works. I've seen a lot
of ANSI artists that guys like you consider "off topic" who make
better pure ascii art than you and the other whingers put together.

>My text editor says differently.

Because your text editor is not a person. And apparently neither are
you if you can't get past the technical differences.

So why do you have a problem with Palmore inviting ascii artists to
join an ANSI group? A good ascii artist will probably be far better at
ANSI than someone who's tried neither. God damn you're such a fuckwit
and I can't believe you're wasting my time like this.
