Not everyone is like me you, thats the point. Why is it so hard for you to realize that people react differently??? If I don't like something or I think it doesn't look right, whatever the case, I'll say so. But I'm not gonna be a jerk about it. I may be a sarcastic f***er but when it comes doen to stuff like that I want to give a valid answer yet not come off as some know it all prick.
-OK, so now after reading what we've said back and forth you know me. Cool, I'll humor you. OK, its not about what he has to say its his manner of saying it that I don't get. He continuously drops in with his snooty little know it all about everything demeanor and I think its not necessary when he "critiques". If he came at somebody rationally instead it'd be different but I personally don't think its cool just to bash on somebody and their work. Nothing gets solved that way. Point out what you like and what you don't, it doesn't need to be sugar coated. But coming of as a prick that thinks he knows it all and your opinion is not gonna be appreciated.
I just feel that its not productive to be that way to the one being critiqued.
*Zack again. I know it was dumb to try and get in the middle of this "fight" but you both got really offtrack here. He didn't like something. He can not like it. Straight up. Saying he doesn't like it is probably better than telling him what to fix, which may be all of it in his opinion, and that'd be rude and uncalled for, but he didn;t. All he said was that he didn't like tha damn thing, and you got all mad. I'm sure you've done exactly that same thing.
Life isn't fare. Whoever this guy is, that you two are battleing over, probably doesn't care that Justin said he didn't like it, or even that you're defending the guy.
You both need to stop before you ruin your messageboard friendship over something so trivial. We all understand everyone elses points. I don't agree with Justin on a LOT of stuff, in fact we're quite opposite people. There's a lot that he loves and wants to show me, but i really don't care sometimes, and i tell him. Guess what? He still gets excited even though I don't. It's an opinion. You don't think people should be torn down. Valid. He wants to say his point. Valid. You're both wrong and right.
Now, if the guy who did the rework of the figure had asked for a critique, and got one and was mad about it, tough, because he wanted it. But he didn't but it doesn't matter, because Justin's absolutley right when he talks about posting it to the world, it's going to happen and that's that. I really can't fathom why you got so ******** over this, when it truly doesn't matter. This has devolved into a battle of ego's, and neither of you wants to lose.
I can understand your point of view. A few weeks ago I ask a guy to comment on a piece I did. When he typed his response, I actually got kinda mad at what he said, because i view myself as better than the guy. But I knew I wanted his opinion, and i got it. So I have to deal with it and make use of it.
Fact is, and I've said it a lot, this dude doesn't care what either of you have to say. It doesn't matter that even i don't like the damn redskull, and I have my own reasons. You both need to stop taking this crap to heart, IT DOESN'T MATTER, although you'll still feel obligated to make your point, at which he (we) will also feel obligated to type back our responses.
This has snowballed out of its menial proportions. All he said was he didn't like it, and he also said that he liked something else the guy did, and that this new piece apparently didn't match up to his OPINION. Have yours. He'll have his. And I'll have mine.
P.S. DOOM ROCKS!
