Haha good point, at least you started to suggest what was wrong with his minis
I\'m with you Tony, you can say whatever you like about his mini although you could be a bit more considerate next time like every one else has said

I agree totally. I would tolerate Tony\'s nonsense if he wasn\'t such a hypocrite.
At least he has some fanboys to back him up though, the guy that he humiliated does not.
EbonBuddha - I\'ve never heard such a bunch of old tosh in my life mate. I heard once that minipainters are (on average) moderate to high in the IQ department. Please don\'t insult our intelligence with ridiculous rhetoric like \"Legitimate criticism.\"
I can\'t quite see what you\'re saying about \"maybe we should explain it to him better\" etc etc. What, explain to Tony the basic rules of common courtesy?
Yeah you\'re right, he\'s not getting revenge on someone for comments they have left about him. He\'s just being an ass by leaving his \"legitimate\" 1s and 2s in beginners\' galleries.
To those that say \"A least he has the balls to say it, leave him alone\", I\'m not expecting any criticism from you guys for saying what I\'ve said here. Surely, typing all this means I have balls, right? I\'m a brave person, sitting here behind my monitor, criticisiing Tony\'s arrogance.
(Yeah, definately a bit of a rant, it\'s Tony\'s fan boys that are pissing me off more than Tony atm)
So as you take one side, the other side are fanboys? Makes sense...
If anyone wants a lesson on how to post constructive criticism in a nice friendly way, just look at Dragonsreach\'s comments. They really stand out for me a being balanced between finding good points and being positive, yet still identifying areas for improvement.

Well why not PM the little guy and ask him to repost so you can give him some better advice & tips to help him improve his/her painting. It\'d probably go a long way
just a thought
Mick
Already did
He\'ll be sending me some mini pics (as I said ALOT earlier in this post...) so this is being taken care of. Tony has apoligized, more than once actually and know he made a mistake, but this isn\'t really about Tony as such, it\'s about all of you out there that could (or do) post very hurting and unhelpful comments.
As I\'ve said before, we are people behind these Avatars, and we all want a bit of respect... werter we suck at painting or rock at it!
I think this thread is ready to die, lets ship it out ?

Can\'t see the reason for this reply at all... it seems like your the one that needs to get over it really...

Fella, your post annoyed me
I took it as a glib criticism of a large group of people. It\'s an attitude we call Holier Than Thou, and it stinks.

I\'m sorry to hear that, but it\'s simply a fact. But that you get annoyed about me saying that this is about all the people that post hurtfull and useless comments out there, that really doesn\'t make any sense, unless your one of them?
There is no reason at all to hurt other people... if you wanna comment, help out... You say it\'s not about moral, but it is, it\'s about people...
Explain Holier Than Thou?

This is where I get riled
I have no need whatsoever to justify myself to you. My character and what I am is something that you have no knowledge of, so to suggest that I am one of the people who leave bad comments is both presumptuous and naive.
The issues you are clouding here are ridiculous: I take it as read that everyone around here is a decent human-being to some degree or another. Therefore my expectation of what any of us might write as a comment on a miniature is generally a positive one. However, that\'s not to say that people HAVE to write nice stuff on what is - ultimately - a voting process. People are so bloody soft at times! I\'ll explain the situation once more:
This website is primarily about voting/rating miniatures. It is not particularly a site for espousing morals. The site has forums where moral issues can and will crop up and that\'s great - let\'s go for it. But, as far as the voting goes, morals do not enter the equation. It\'s a superficial process that actually has no correlation to all the guff that people are trying to attach to it. Get over it.

Oh aye, and use the internet to check out what \'holier than thou\' means. You\'ve got the most amazing resourcr at your fingertips and you can\'t be bothered to use it. Shocking lol

At no point did I ask you to justify yourself or that you were one of thoes that did. However I asked you if you were. So who is being presumptuous and naive here ?
Voting and commenting are two different things, you can vote in hiding and do whatever you want to do, you can even sit behind your screen and shout: \"WTF such a fecking newb !\" But when commenting, common curtesey takes into effect... But that might be unknown to some people.
Now what your going all overboard about, is beyond me. And frankly, I think it\'s low to attack me for asking you pollitely what that term ment. I know how to use the internet, but I want an explanation from you, since you were the one using it in the first place...

My god you\'re petty lol
I felt the need to justify myself because of the way you generalised about a group of people. If you can\'t see that, you probably need to go back to the drawing board. And you\'ve once again put yourself high up the morality scale in your last post by assuming your position is the correct one. Go away and work out what I wrote. It\'s very straight forward.

Wow, your something...
I have never said I\'m the best or I do the right thing... But if that is how you see it, I\'m really sorry for you.
I read what you wrote, I don\'t need anymore time to see what you mean. But there is no reason for you to go off like you did.
You need to know that I do not say I\'m better than anyone, but I did say that people that use critisism to bring people down are useless... That I will stand by...
No reason to carry on with this conversation from my side, we will agree on disagreeing.

I think there\'ll also be a definition for \'glib\' floating around somewhere too.
It\'s a shame that this thread has been rekindled, people are just taking the piss now.
