The following is my offline post to Phil:
=20
Settle down....for one who seemed so ready to criticize.....you don't =
take it very well.....Everyone has said that crap in critiques....It is =
the way everyone has been taught...It does not make it right....If you =
read the post I made a little slower you might even find some humor, not =
to mention some truth about what critiques ought to be....My line about =
your spelling was a joke and unimportant as was the line about =
mel......He quickly wrote me that I might turn out to be a good =
clayarter, and that I had good information....Of course he would deny it =
if askedHEHEHEHE.......Besides, I only gave you a little hotfoot between =
friends(Contrary to Matt's post) The dunghill line of yours was an =
example of "projection"....It is a defense mechanism....If it will make =
you feel better, go to my webpages and critique three pieces free
Happy potting,
Rush
For what it's worth there it is, on line for all of clayart to =
read....If you think that was rude, you should see what might happen if =
I was on the receiving end of one of your, "I don't like" =
critiques...which I consider very rude...Please read all the posts of =
the last couple weeks about the issue of "good and bad form"....If you =
or anyone else has anything besides personal attack and flip remark to =
add I would be very interested in reading it.....judgment of form is a =
very important issue to all potters....My original reply to your post =
was not a personal attack but a condemnation of the attitude with which =
most critiques are conducted...If you have to have some sort of apology =
you can have it....I don't know you from Joe Schmoo, but I immediately =
recognized the destructive crap you cited as acceptable critique....I =
believe a critique should be a time for rejoicing in the progress of =
fellow artists...not boot camp(soldier, thin that bottom!-what are you? =
some kinda maroon?)
If you would be so kind as to enlighten us all as to what exactly, =
besides lack of technical problems, constitutes "good form" we will all =
be eternally grateful...At this point I believe what you think is "good =
form" might just be what YOU think is "good form"
BTW, I'm glad I got to repost this email; it gave me a chance to use =
spell checker on itHEHEHEHE....And how bout you mel...You gonna admit =
you said I might be OK afterall?
wishing you all only good forms,
Rush
"I only indulge when I've seen a snake, so I keep a supply of =
indulgences and snakes handy"
