I posted it in response to this thread, and did read this thread. I just included it in deltableh's thread because I wanted to give him my feedback on his build.
I have no problem with criticism. I appreciate it when I receive it, and I give it on the AF board frequently. I ALSO don't like "awesome" and "great build" when the build is clearly subpar, but that's no reason to dump on someone's effort.
As I said above, deltableh was clearly a new modeler and still learning the ropes--I don't think I would've liked it in high school English class if I wrote an essay that I put time and effort into, but wasn't very good, and the teacher went up in front of the whole class, read it, and then called it "crap" and "sucks." There's a difference between "tough love" as it were, and being insulting.
So what next, deltableh posts his next project in a couple weeks, that clearly shows signs of improvement, a better basic paint job, better wheel alignment, more attention to detail, but still isn't up to your standards--time to call it crap again?
I never disagreed with bigfrit's point guys, I disagreed with its execution. That and the fact that, on top of wording it in an insulting fashion, he really didn't provide any feedback or suggestions. "Work on your basics" doesn't help much.
Maybe it's just because I'm Canadian....
