OK! (Its official... I'm a colossal idiot.)
I JUST noticed the EDIT feature ability on my posts.
So all of you who had a problem with me, can stop with the hateful posts cause I got rid of the problem.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, Since I clearly stated I was NOT calling his work bad or ugly, one can therefore not label it as being BACKHANDED!
Though I can clearly see how one might perceive that particular sentence as such and then get angry.
By the way, I also would like to say that I don't fault anyone for posting as they have to me, as I WAS a bit vague and left the whole thing too open to interpret it in the way I had intended.
All in all, I was really just trying to pay tribute to SMILIEY'S abilities at being able to do what he has done so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of this chaos aside though, Is it really wrong or rude to say something along the lines of:
"I am truly amazed at what you have done with (----) so far, I don't think it's at the best it can be just yet, but given what I've seen so far it and you show great potential, and I really hope to see more things by you in the future."
In this, I am being completely honest by "POSSITIVELY" stating that I really like what's been done and want to see more.
However I am also implying that, though I am pretty satisfied with it, I know there is potential for it to be improved upon.
Also, though it is not bluntly stated in words, you should be able to see that over all, what is said is an acknowledgement by me, that I recognize the effort they put forth and understand there skills are high and that I feel they will only continue to improve over time.
NOTHING I POST IS INTENDED AS BEING MEAN, HURTFULL, OR RUDE. Unfortunately, now days everyone sees what they want to see, meaning we all interpret things differently in our own way, and this of course makes it almost certain that there will be moments of conflict.
THE ONLY TIME I POST STUFF ABOUT ONES WORK IS IF I REALY LIKE IT, therefore this makes anything one might perceive as me being negative towards someone's work in a post, a complete contradiction to the post it self.
A person can not love/like something if they, them self, perceive it as being ugly.
A person CAN however RESPECT what they perceive as being ugly.
For those of you who think me wrong on this, I urge that you look up the word contradiction, and take a few psychology classes.
Oh, and before anyone gets angry over this, Let me first say that I am NOT implying anything here what so ever. It's just that I 've personally taken psychology and found it to be VERY enlightening on a bunch of things. I believe that every one needs to take at least one class of it in their life, as It helps to open up the mind to a bigger and more complete picture on a lot of things. For me, the most useful thing I gained from it was a deeper understanding that made it possible for me to more clearly see other peoples points of view and what they were getting at in conversations.
Knowledge gained in pursuit of understating dissolves all conflict and breeds peace, but if we do not seek it, only suffering shall befall us.
