Robert,
Not at all, you're not coming across as angry to me.

This is all new to me, I wasn't aware that people are skirting the
word "puppetry," using "live animation" instead. It's sort of like
used car salesmen talking about "pre-owned vehicles."

It makes sense, puppetry is the province of misfits and weirdos in the
opinion of many. We start at a disadvantage, being humble and analog,
third-world, with our sticks and rags -- puppetry is old-fashioned!

I'd say that everyone can call whatever they do whatever they want.

Myself, I like the tawdry connotations, so I'm a "puppet-maker" and
"puppeteer." I'm committed to taking this old form and trying to make
something wonderful happen.

Your site was pretty scrambled on my rig too.
best,
Ed
