I'm a bad person

Fri May 9, 2008, 10:18 PM

Mood: Vengeful
Reading: The Return of the King

I really want to be so evil right now. I was browsing through the daily deviations, and noticed that someone left a comment on one of the pieces that said "eh... not impressed." And that was it; no explanation. Now, I realize that DD's tend to be fodder for this kind of crap because they receive extra attention for being on the front page for a day, etc. And perhaps the comment is really misdirected and it meant to go to whomever selected the DD, but it still nags at me. Whenever I see that I have the urge to do one of two things. The first is to laugh at how stupid that person is because they can't see past their own jealousy and direct their "unimpressedness" at the GD who DD'd the piece. The second, and the one I really want to do tonight, is go pick a random deviation from that person's gallery and leave precisely the same comment. Of course, I'm too non-confrontational to do that, but oh, how I really want to.

In other news, my piece in the show did not win a purchase award.

Oh well. Other shows, other days.

I get in rows with those people frequently. It's almost a sport. Reminding them that they can get banned for it actually helps.

I tend to get too emotional, so I have to keep myself from saying anything at all, but some days I just really feel like being mean spirited.

Those who have come here to hate should leave now, for in their hatred they only betray themselves.

You know I wouldn't, I'm too much of a scaredy cat.

I'll parrot back something from somebody else somewhere else:

Negative critiques are important, they help you push yourself.

I'll freely admit that what you describe doesn't sound like a negative critique, but like a person just being negative for the sake of being negative, but even then, I would say that growing a thick skin against those idiots is also a good thing, because sadly the world is full of them

Regards + best of luck!

I know all too well that the art world is full of crap like that, and you really do have to get used to it, however, the people on this site frequently are not professionals. What they do is a hobby, for fun, and it's not fun when people are just being negative to be negative. If the person had made some suggestions for improvement, that would be a whole other story, but they didn't. They left a scathing comment simply because they could, and I think that's entirely unnecessary on a site that should be about having fun doing art.

There's a special level of hell for those people....right next to the one for those who talk at the theatre lol

yeah, its a sad sad world where people have to resort to petty jealously remarks to make themselves feel good...and then they go on to announce their intentions to run for president...oi..

but good for you that you rose above base human instinct

that's tough to do these days, and makes you a shining example of good in this dreary world

and that, my dear blossom is w orth by far more than any prize
