Yeah people are rude now and again. Get over it. You're not going to learn jack **** by hiding in a little bubble where everyone pats you on the back. If that's what you want, there ARE forums out there for it... oh and facebook. This ain't that.
That's part of my issue with the situation, though. Because, see, I wasn't learning anything. From Buckster, yes, and I even openly admitted later that I thought that all of those things pertained to the term I was speaking of, and I was wrong. I will go ahead and tell you. When I am wrong, I am certainly not afraid to admit I am. However, I'm talking about the dude that came in after that saying "You have to admit that it'd be better with the correction."
No, I didn't think it would. I have a decade and a half of Photoshop experience. If I really wanted to correct it, I certainly would have. I simply didn't want to, because I liked it the way it was. Which is where I'm going with this. It is my subjective thought that it looked good the way I had it. Not only mine, but several other members liked it that way also. He was one of two people that didn't. Therefore, he was in no position to down play my skill as a photographer simply because I did not correct the photograph's distortion.
Anyway, that's going off onto another tangent. This has very little to do with only my photograph. This has to do with the way I see other people talk to EVERYONE that posts for C&C. I have seen too many times on this forum, that someone gets called a crappy photographer because they didn't do something a specific way another forum member would have, and that is completely incorrect. Not only is it incorrect, it's unnecessary.
