A little phase I thought up.

Wed Nov 18, 2009, 10:48 AM
"Without the penalties of failure, people will not fear it. Without the rewards of achievement, people will not pursue it."

I thought of this while posting a comment on a youtube video about our current situation in the United States, and its social direction.

Maybe I'll become a philosopher, so I can sit around all day and ask "Why?" to everything :P

Moral high ground? I have no moral qualms with you, I was just pointing out that you have moved from questioning me to criticizing very quickly. Besides pointing this out, I do not believe I have leveled any criticism in return.

Perhaps my woeful writing ability distracted you so much you missed the point of the journal. I will attempt to paraphrase; this website, while claiming to be an art website, is inundated with really, really awful work. Like a pyramid, this makes up the base and majority of deviantart. In the middle are mediocre works, which also fill a large portion of everything posted here. I have nothing against the artists, hell, I don't even know them. You don't even know me, we haven't even met, but you disagree with me based on my actions online. I have explained myself, and instead of taking it in and considering it, you have lambasted, of all things, the grammar of the statement. But I'm digressing here. I am here to criticize, and go ahead and criticize me, I don't really care. (Although I guess writing this long statement isn't the best way of saying so) I will continue to do what I came here to do, and if you have any quarrels, getting into a flame war isn't a way to discuss them. (I'm not accusing you of attempting to start one, mind you, it's just that I have had conversations like this that have quickly devolved into mindless rants about the opposings hygiene and sexuality. Let's not let our relationship become that.)

It was never my goal to stop you from being an art critique, nor was my first post on your journal an attempt to flame you. My goal, if you can call it that, is to point out that your methods are much more counter-productive then helpful. You’ll find that you can point out the flaws in others work without inciting angry replies if you remain professional. At first, your actions portrayed you to be a troll, using the guise of criticism to degrade artwork. If you goal is to actually improve Deviant art, then I have no qualms with that, only the method in how you do so. Keep it respectful and you’ll find less hateful comments on your front page, less ignored comments, and more constructive responses.

"I saw this on SOMEBODIES journal and decided I would steal it."
Do I need to point out the obvious flaw in this sentence? You emphasized it, unwittingly, yourself. You see, this sort of useless argument can be juggled back and forth almost indefinitely, so why stoop so low?

I find it funny that you're trying to take the moral high ground in this situation. It's humorously hypocritical that you would suggest that critiquing a journal would be less pointless then critiquing a random persons artwork.
I dare say you resemble those “bat-shit insane, butthurt” artist you rail on.
