This can e said both ways. I, however was true to my appreciation of his shots. There was one or two I disliked, but the others (from now and before) I genuinely liked. I also like other people's shots. I never said any were great. That's a choice for third parties. I like them though, and I'd rather he kept refining his style than make it more in line with things I've seen already.
This is an internet forum, you are correct, and I gave my opinion as well as some personal advise. I also gave a few observations. I never learned that the best way to criticize someone was to mock them openly with the only acceptable route being for the criticized to conform to my "Safe Zone".
I'd rather not Mock anyone else's shots for fear of being banned. Criticism I can do. I guess that's just because I expect people to be banned for continued outright mocking of others, or being a dick in general.
