How was it constructive? Constructive criticism includes some sort of advice on how to improve technique. I saw none of that. Only a 'you should've done this differently' sort of response - which is totally useless. =P
As for anyone looking to continue this line of conversation, I'd really rather not get drawn into a debate with anyone about what constitutes constructive criticism, so let's just let this discussion die here, shall we?
It kicks ass.

Lol. What is it with people these days? Good lord. I really don't want every single thread I make turn into a debate.
I'd really like to understand what you mean by 'forum bashing' because I see none of it in my post. Really, I just can't see how you could even begin to believe that what I said was derogatory in any way.
And yes, what you said was criticism, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I've always been an advocate of constructive criticism that promotes the flow of ideas, improvement of technique, etc. I'm allowed to respond to criticism in whatever fashion I want - assuming I'm not offensive (which I wasn't). What I say still stands. I still think it's silly to say that someone else's art should be one way or another - in this case the roman numeral I (in the center of the III). Who says it has to be flat? Art is about freedom of expression - in this case I can make the I look however I want.
As for calling me a hypocrite - again, I fail to see where I have acted hypocritical or said anything hypocritical at all. You told me how my art should be, I responded saying that you can't tell me how to make my art better. That goes for all art. You can't improve art - only an artist's technique - and whether or not an I is curved or flat on the bottom has nothing to do with technique.
As far as being a 'retard' or a 'noob' goes, I'm not even going to bother trying to explain why you are wrong on both counts. Suffice it to say that my intelligence and longevity on these boards is sufficient enough to warrant neither of these insults.
But, I'm fairly open-minded most of the time, so if you can present me with some evidence proving that I'm a 'hypocritic forum-bashing retarded noob', I may reconsider my stance here.
If you plan on doing so, send it to me via PM as debates like this are better kept private.
PS: Flaming is a bannable offense on these boards btw, so I'd recommend not doing so ever again - to anyone. For now, I have merely added an infaction point to your account.
Well he did have a point. It was just constructive criticism.
But he should of relied differently.
