Pointless Criticism
Judge not lest ye be judged

Since when has age been an issue on this wonderful medium called the internet? Aside from the obvious and blaring legal ramifications of age, one should remeber that on the internet, intellect is the sole source of clout that earns one respect. I don't mean intellect merely in the sense of "smarts", but also skill, eloquence, and discretion, the latter of which is the reason for this quasi-rant.
I was reading through some reviews when I found some boorish remarks by and obviously mislead individual. Such remarks never earn anyone a shred of respect because destructive criticism more often than not implies insecurity and ineptitude on the criticisers part. Such comments should be left on shady flame-posts and less reputable forums.
Moreover, I found the works in question to be perfectly ok as far as quality goes, not that a lack of quality should call for such blatant dissing. In closing, I have but this to say: Keep it clean people.

I think that we all owe some credit to the guy for that masterful subtraction. 25-14=11. A+!

Yup, I just posted in defense of someone else in the Blinds category because she happens to be a good skinner and was flamed (not quite as obnoxiously as Hustler's screenshot was) but flamed nonetheless and hopefully I shut the stupid troll up because it's obvious they were just trying to be mean. I won't give the link here but if any of the Wizops want it, Email and I'll tell you. People that have nothing better to do than criticize the work of someone else really peeve me.

Oh Gezzus...The kid was an idiot...plain and simple. Get a grip. And I seriously doubt that my comment that he is what he is...an idiot (to put it mildy so as not to hurt "his" feelings)...is going to harm him or somehow make him miraculously change his ways. His parents are probably idiots too.(uh oh...did I say that?...Now I've gone and done it..I should be flogged) Thats the problem with this country anymore (to touchy/feely), no one is willing to tell it like it is.
Ok ok..lets give him a time out...yeah...he'll learn from that. Or how about we put him on drugs to curb his bad behavior.
Nah...how about a good whack upside his head.
Warning!...Please do not agree with anything I've said here unless you have a spine...otherwise the next person in line will admonish you for it...hurt your feelings...and you will either end up in therapy and on prozac for the rest of your life or you'll end up in a timeout for eternity

Can't say I agree, actually.
An idiot is 'self-evident'.....calling him one is just 'personal attack', no different from what the 'idiot' was doing in the first place.
All that is ever needed is to forward the issue to a site admin to be 'handled'. No need for any form of public 'slanging match'...

Whack upside the head!!?!?!?!? ..so violent..sheesh!

If nothing else, thanks for the laughs...I defintely got a good one from your addition..but thats me..others..weeeelllll..
I would go as far to say that is "Old School" thinking 101..
Your right, these days other methods are proven to work, some of us tho are trapped in our habits of olde..
You get what you give,
And apparently there are people that will still return the favor.
Take care,

Oh brother...Ok ok...I'm sure the kid was a boyscout and a fine outstanding person in his community and the world is a much better place with him in it. Maybe I should have just referred to him as a troll...but then I'd have all the trolls to answer to. I'll take a timeout now.

this is an unbelievable misuse of "feedback" on this site from a 25 yr old man toward an exceptionally talented 14 yr old adolescent who has shown remarkable restraint & good form for such outright abuse.....this situation needs to be remedied & quickly,,,,shocking it has gone this far....keep up the visionary work Hustler...to have an oevre like this at your age shows incredible ability & promise....it would appear your attacker is exhibiting a sour grapes episode with regard to who is more talented which some males do when upstaged

Cutting others down will never make you bigger. That should be the silver, or maybe bronze rule.

It's also quite funny that he has a total of 3 accounts that I've found so far. Always amusing when someone uploads something and then registers another account to congratulate himself on his own work.

your 2 cents is worth at least 3, that is a different level..::laughs::
Especially if you have read the comments in question and are able to react as you have.
Taking into consideration the target of the comments is a child..
The whole thing quite honestly "Pissed" me off...but I was able to contain myself..this time.
