Hmm, I read the thread and I have to say that this is the kinda shit that makes me reluctant to post my stuff up for crits here. Unlike many of you here, I don't consider myself a "professional" designer, not haveing yet been through art school, and while sometimes i'm just itching to comment when someone asks for a crit, i usually keep my mouth shut, because I dont think that my opinion is of the validity that's normally recognized through one's own work.
Many of you, while doing very nice work (and many of you being my own daily inspiration), seem to think that somehow you have earned the right to put aside constructive criticism, and let your own opinions take over your posts.
NT seems to have the reputation of a slightly more distinguished audience, then some other online venues, but that unfortunately gives many here the unnecessary air of self-importance that is sometimes downright insulting.
As you may see, I dont even have my website in my profile, because here it seems, one's website is a sort of a right to comment, and as I mentioned before, I try to refrain from doing so.
Please, note that many here are less experienced and much less confident in their work. They come here for constructive criticism, for opinions from those they look up to, and sometimes it's just plain fucking rude to dismiss them as 'kids who give a bad name to your profession' -.-
