Pointless Criticism

Link

Since when has age been an issue on this wonderful medium called the internet? Aside from the obvious and blaring legal ramifications of age, one should remeber that on the internet, intellect is the sole source of clout that earns one respect. I don't mean intellect merely in the sense of "smarts", but also skill, eloquence, and discretion, the latter of which is the reason for this quasi-rant.
I was reading through some reviews when I found some boorish remarks by and obviously mislead individual. Such remarks never earn anyone a shred of respect because destructive criticism more often than not implies insecurity and ineptitude on the criticisers part. Such comments should be left on shady flame-posts and less reputable forums.

Moreover, I found the works in question to be perfectly ok as far as quality goes, not that a lack of quality should call for such blatant dissing. In closing, I have but this to say: Keep it clean people.

If nothing else, thanks for the laughs...I defintely got a good one from your addition..but thats me..others..weeeelllll..

I would go as far to say that is "Old School" thinking 101..
Your right, these days other methods are proven to work, some of us tho are trapped in our habits of olde..

You get what you give,
And apparently there are people that will still return the favor.

Take care,

Oh brother...Ok ok...I'm sure the kid was a boyscout and a fine outstanding person in his community and the world is a much better place with him in it. Maybe I should have just referred to him as a troll...but then I'd have all the trolls to answer to. I'll take a timeout now.

this is an unbelievable misuse of "feedback" on this site from a 25 yr old man toward an exceptionally talented 14 yr old adolescent who has shown remarkable restraint & good form for such outright abuse.....this situation needs to be remedied & quickly,,,,shocking it has gone this far....keep up the visionary work Hustler...to have an oevre like this at your age shows incredible ability & promise....it would appear your attacker is exhibiting a sour grapes episode with regard to who is more talented which some males do when upstaged

Cutting others down will never make you bigger. That should be the silver, or maybe bronze rule.

It's also quite funny that he has a total of 3 accounts that I've found so far. Always amusing when someone uploads something and then registers another account to congratulate himself on his own work. :S

Hey S.W.FuzzyLogic;
I'm glad to be a part of this community for many reasons; one of them being the prompt attention of those in a position to do something about any unfortunate incidents that may occur.
Thanks for being there!

This thread was 'resolved' in comment #5 ....anything beyond that was/is varying shades of irrelevant.

Time to move on...

I totally agree, shotgun, that age is irrelevant here. I'm 53 and have a great respect for many younger than I who possess skills, intellect and wisdom that surpass my own. Perhaps it may not be to my own particular tastes, but if a 12 y.o. produced a work which showed ability, promise and potential, I would have nothing but admiration for them, perhaps a touch of envy, even. I'm not that artistic myself, and my computer skills are still rather limited, so I would not have the gall to criticise anyone who has the ability the get works posted here, regardless of their age.
I know what I like , however, and for those things that don't suit my tastes, I leave them on the shelf for others without irreverant or undue criticism. Perhaps the individual in question should take a leaf out of this book of life and pursue other past-times for which they are qualified.
Furthermore, for those who saw my reply to the individual who accused Stardock of greed, that personal attack was warranted because it addressed a whinging lie about a reputable organisation and persons who contribute far more than they receive. I reserve my harsh criticism for such occasions, never for artists who contribute to help keep Wincustomize alive. without all of them catering to all sorts of tastes, we'd have no site at all and nothing to write about to a forum that doesn't exist.
So my advice to all would be critics, if its not constructive, keep it to yourself
