Miguex, your simple use of just one word but more importantly two from a short statement proves that you do have a personal opinion and you are taking a side
the word: crux
the supporting word: point
the statement: "yes, this is the crux of the point" from http://www.qbn.com/topics/654962…crux: "puzzling or difficult problem"
you, miguex, have assigned a personal stance on strangers actions and are now puzzled. you are puzzled due to a personal conflict. this you have stated.
my opinions are a reaction to your stance. you seem very pro-no-poster, i seem very pro-choice. i am taking issue with your personal stance because i feel you are wasting your time and that of others on senseless hate toward the actions of strangers that in no way can have a negative affect on anything, and can only benefit those in need.
there is no use in a thread that calls into doubt the aid offered by others when it is making the voice louder for a worldwide cause.
- yeaah... hmmm.. you want to re-read that link you posted?
Miguex - cause I've never said anything like that, and the proof is on your link. :)
or maybe you were directing your eloquent hateful observation to someone else?Miguex - your observation to someone else and you hatred clouded you judgement while writing it?Miguex

logi, not sure why you keep trying to make this about me being a hateful person, but hey if thats what makes you happy is fine by me.
Let's agree to disagree yes?I think you took this as a personal attack on you and your shirt, (which I have never seen btw) but trust me, if it's as good as the one I posted above, I will buy one as well.
But it was not, I didn't mean to offend you, or any other designer or corporation hoping to truly contribute to a noble cause, or (why not?) trying to take advantage of an unfortunate situation to cross promote or increase profit.
Can we agree that, both of these options are a possibility?

miguex, i reread it again even, and i'll read it back to you in my response so you know i'm paying attention...
is the big red dot an easy target? yes. might that have something to do with the size of the reaction? most likely.
should i judge any of these people that were so motivated? no.
should i call into question their motives in a thread? of course not.how you didn't end up at this logical conclusion evades me still. why waste your own time criticizes others? I could quote celebrities, philosophers or great leaders to attempt to make my point but a like a child, you keep poking, so i won't look for a poignant one so i'll leave you with a question.
why, just why, do need need to spend your time tearing down others? even if you don't want to spend your time being positive, why spend it being negative towards another, especially a stranger, not just a stranger, but a stranger who took the time to create something in the wake of a massive tragedy?
the very fact that you're willingly not positive about anything but instead spent your time intentionally against these random people is mind numbing.

re: http://www.qbn.com/topics/654962… there is no irony. i feel you are intentionally overlooking the obvious difference.
in case you're forgetting, it's that you are against the positivity of the free creations by others. while i am for that positivity, stating that your insulting criticism is unneeded.

I see what you mean. Japan is cool and hip vs. Haiti (scary and poor) I don't feel like being critical right now though.

a lot of $ spent on art goes to shit, atleast this is for a cause. my 2 cents

On one hand, yes.. is an extra effort to bring attention (to one of the most followed natural disasters in the past 10 years), but you can't help but to point out that there are huge benefits to the artist that might not have anything to do with money, specially when cross promoting these efforts by attaching a signature, name or logo.

really Logi? go fuck myself?
for trying to engage a debate on a social issue of interest to the design community?

the curious thing is how all these designers jumped up for Japan but were mum when it came to Haiti/Katrina. Marketability of one's altruism I suppose.
- oh? so you are on the beat of the free artists donations regarding all disasters? credentials please?logi
- make sure you note your thoughts are merely opinions, misguided and uninformed at that.logi
- exactly my point.Miguex
- why so defensive?ThePublics
