    I work with a Romanian guy that is very like graf. Took me a while on the job to realise he wasn't the boss (and everyone else was just too nice to tell him to shut the fuck up).

    My Romanian critiques everything i do - everything... edits, type treatment, pacing, composition, branding, audio... like I haven't been doing it professionally for 25 years... then pumps out some of the worst design I've ever seen in my life.

    Guy has zero professional courtesy, client hates him and his work, wants to get rid of him but we've explained he'll end up having to pay 4x to replace him because he loves doing all the work no one else wants to do.

    After a few years I can filter out the bullshit. It's only work and I can take critique. I like the guy, we talk about gardening.

    Maybe one day Grafician will do the gardening.

    • Though he's Romanian he's more like a Canada Goose—soaring high, leading the way... and shitting on everything.palimpsest
    • It's an Eastern European/Slavic thing. I know a few Russians who are exactly the same. Dunning Krueger, realised bipedally.Nairn
    • yep, hate to stereotype but i think a bit of the graf hate is due to cross-cultural misunderstanding.kingsteven
    • lol. Are all Romanians like grafician?NBQ00
    • no - graficain is just an incorrigible fuckwit._me_
    • and yes i spelt his name incorredctly_me_
    • germans are the worst.... dont even get me started with austrians...neverscared

    • The sad thing is that graf believes that is how Europeans behave.palimpsest

      That would be something...
      ********
    • Dear graf,
      I was not the one that took the bait. Are you projecting?
      I am also not the one that excuses my behavior with my provenance.

    • @kingsteven so you're coming here for the content, then what's all this bickering about?
      I come here for the content, I post as sort of a bookmarks library
      ********
    • Here we go!
      This is a thread about why some people hate you.
      One of the common topics/reasons is your attitude towards others.

    • WHY would you care enough about me more than my content?

      I find all this fuss disturbing...
      ********
    • On this post ks offers his personal account of a similar or relatable experience with one of your countrymen. Do you see the link?palimpsest
    • How and why would I take anybody around here seriously when you act like this?

      I don't - by default - because I have a life somewhere else, I come here for co

    • The suggestion is that it's a cultural issue. Which is reinforced (to my understanding) by your multiple arguments of "this is how we do it in Europe".palimpsest
    • So all this fuss for me is something like "all these people are really weird, but some of the stuff posted here is useful"
      ********
    • Maybe now you will get why I am being dismissive or whatever

      I'm not here to make friends, I am just curious about the content and that's that
      ********
    • So all this effort you're putting into trying to insult me or write all kinds of crap, it's all you

      If this is how you make fun, go ahead, Idc
      ********
    • one more thing: it's really funny to notice that the people that bicker or make all this fuss are the ones that post the less

      But you do you

    • You're not being dismissive. You've really engaging in the discourse. Because it matters to you and me.
      We're moving forward.

    • I think we all know that you're not here to make friends, you're here to win
      And by your standards you are winning.

    • You care about the quality of your posts and by your own judgement they are top notch.

      There is something that bothers you about how we see you as a person.
      palimpsest
    • Do you see as unfair because people are not engaging you in the (battle)field of your choice?palimpsest
    • It's not that you care about our opinion but what we choose to judge you on?palimpsest
    • @graf yeah i have no issue. i only made this post because i'm sure some of the bickering is due to miscommunication. your lack of self deprecation, willingnesskingsteven
    • to take the L, never stepping down, making your own rules, it is cultural to a part i'm sure. but when you don't provide any background for example my friends'kingsteven
    • interest in gardening, it doesn't make for an endearing presence and i think that triggers a lot of people on here. i get more annoyed by people downvotingkingsteven
    • your good posts than i get annoyed at your bad ones... and that's about it for me.kingsteven
