Drac couldn't have said it better.

I'm also on the other end of the debate; I've 
spent a lot of time creating my images and I'd 
prefer for them not to be used.  However, not 
that I would mind them being used in image 
galleries, I just have the fear of fancels or my 
bigger concern, someone swiping the image and 
claiming the cel as their own.  At least with 
fancels, I can have the benefit of the doubt. ^^;;
However, I do not have a problem with my images 
being used on a private, personal use.  I have 
from time to time saved images on my desktop of 
cels I've really enjoyed viewing.  I would never 
post them online or use them in anyway where 
someone might be upset.  I just like looking at 
them ::blush:: .  I'm sure a lot can relate.  
This is why I've kept the image theft option 
off.  If someone wishes to save the image to 
their computer, I'm fine with it, just as long as 
they respect my wishes.  


Also, there shouldn't be *any* logical reason why 
someone should be upset with what you said.  You 
are definitely entitled to your own opinion, 
including stating it.  Plus, you said it in a 
very kind and mature manner and never once bashed 
any opposing thoughts.  Disagreement with your 
statement, sure, but not anger.  ^_~
