My name is Jeanie Lindell. Our son Dustin died in a car accident this past summer. He brought so much joy into our lives that we will never be able to replace.Dustin was a very giving and compassionate person. As you can tell from his website he very much loved life.
I forgive the things that you have said here for had any of you known him, you would not be able to say one bad thing.
Please remove your comments.

I guess you just picked the wrong kid this time...
you all should just go over some of your ALSO SHITTY WORK and stop this shit.
Being a "good" designer does not really make you a BETTER PERSON or whatever... reconsider your values.

-- Charles Dubois --
You alll sound so fucking stupid, making fun of a kid that wishes to became the greater artist of all times, so what? You all think are better than him? WHY? Because you can actually make a reasonable layout? choose some nice font and a color scheme? What is so special about that? come on that is just a fucking job, anybody can fucking learn that. You all a so fucking frustaded about your own stupid lifes that you need to make fun of some kid to fill good?!?
Go on with your stupid designs and whatsoever and leave those kids alone, special the dead ones...

Its just sad...

LOL
who's gonna believe that?
i don't.Anyway according to his site it was last updated on this date 09/08/05
and that letter said he died this last summer.....I don't think so....Also, I don't think his mother would have the computer skills to go into his son's guestbook. Even if she could why would she be doing that?
Last, It's impossible since people were writing to his guestbook since march. Apparently everybody (including his friends and granpa) was cool about his death and noone seemed to even care to mention it.
Nice try whoever did it.
My guess is that it was done by someone here at NT, but there's the slight chance that the dude from the counting crows did it.

it's the design king thread.
but i think there's more going on here than just people from nt tearing a new asshole for a kid they didn't realise had passed away...
it started out like that, and people posted some pretty harsh stuff in his guestbook (some of it was funny, but it got out of hand). then, however, (and this is the bit that i find interesting) the community regulated itself.
jevad brought up karma, a lot of people applauded the kid's obvious passion for art and design, and exador went back to the guestbook on his site and wrote some of the truest words ever written about nt and extended a really heartfelt and warm invitation for the kid to come and hang out here.
all of this had taken place before his mom posted that he passed away last summer.
if i were in his parents' shoes, i think i'd be proud that my son's obvious passion and exuberance had indeed attracted so much attention from people that he would, if he ever got over hating them, probably look up to more than anyone else in the world.
i think there's a bittersweet lesson in there somewhere...

it seems like some of you were PuNK'D!!!
Honestly, who did it?
- paraselene0
maybe it's all a fake?

(Oct 28 05, 01:56)i wondered that, too....
it'd sure be a good way to teach us all a lesson.
- edvc_van0
It's totally fake. Someone here at NT did for sure.
How come nobody mentioned his death in the guestbook? His own grandpa and friends were writing since march.

u gotta question how much time & effort put in to bagging someone elses work
i dunno, maybe thats why i didnt read the thread
- pascii0

everyone starts somewhen

The point here is this, why should radar be posting here these kind of shit? To laught about it? What so fun about it? I dont really get it? I mean we all know there is so many bad designed websites, etc! So what?
In the end here in the PVN there is only a few guys who really are kickass designers...and I dont see them making fun of anybody...
- blackspade0
amen.

true, elfangio.
discretion being the better part of valour...
