The perils of commenting on Deviantart

[shefanhow]

I was looking through the Photomanipulation gallery on DA today, as I often do, and was commenting on pieces I liked. Then, this evening I get this back from one of the people whose work I commented on:

"Thank you ..
I need to ask you something ...
Your avatar, Your art, The groups you'r in ..

Are you really happy ?
I mean, don't get me wrong Im sure ur a very nice person ..

I know this really isn't my problem,
But I was there once .. I was that lost ..

Trust me there is a better way, a brighter road .. Its this clear path ..

Just try and open your eyes, Im not asking for anything more ...

I know I might be banned for doing this or whatsoever .. But Its worth it .. ..

This should be a thank you message I know ..
But I couldnt just say thanks, and keep my eyes shut ..
Sorry for being frank ..

I hope you find the road ..

Thanks again ..
Take care "

Basically, the poster is muslim, and had noticed that I am a pagan. I replied very politely saying my religion isnt something I follow lightly, and thanks but no thanks, that some people have different paths to others, but it kind of annoyed me. I dont go on DA to be preached at, for example I may not agree with people who are nazi's who are on DA, but I wouldn't presume to tell them they are wrong even if I think they are. Intead I will simply not look at their art, and not join any of their groups etc. DA is not a site for that kind of thing, its an art site, I go there to show my art, and look at other peoples art.

Luckily in all the time I have been in DA, this is the only time anything like this has happened, and hopefully it wont be a regular occurance. I ont know, is it against the rules to do stuff like this?
