    OK I'll grant that it was a really low blow for me to discredit the competition. Arrogant, even, as you said. My opinion was formed after I submitted work and chatted with a couple people about the nature of Young Guns. You have good points Orbit, and I agree that I was way out of line. Not exactly the picture of Christian humility.

    Greedo, you're right in saying I'm a relentless self-promoter. I see it as a necessary evil what with the fierce competition we all face these days. And with mouths to feed, I can't simply sit back and quietly wait for visibility and new work to trickle in.

    As far as being a pompous cock or someone who relentlessly tells the world how polished his turds are, I'd like to see you find specific examplesof me behaving this way (besides my out-of-line comments in this thread). Last time I checked, posting work for a crit, or announcing a website redesign, don't exactly qualify as being a cock. No way in hell do I think anything I produce is worth "a hushed round of admiration." Some people think my work is worth a shit, some don't, and that's just fine. I've produced plenty of mediocre and even bad work throughout my career. My shit stinks just as much as anyone elses.
