I don't hate him. He's completely right that this is now one of the only ways to be heard on these forums.
But that's just it isn't it? You get through to some people doing it your way. Most people are paying attention to you now and lots hate you, you are getting some through to you. The same can be said of my way, lots of people may ignore you, but you will get through to some people. The difference is, is that you don't have to live your life with people hating you.
Actually, in my response, I was trying to push the discussion towards discussion of the idea of perfection and if it is ever possible to achieve a level of proficiency that is beyond what normal practice can achieve. So if you think that's just fluff, then I've got nothing to say to you.
But again, all you're doing is whining about how you'd do things and not actually contributing to this topic. I urge you, make it interesting. We both know you have that capacity.
But doing it my way, the information actually gets out there. Your way, it goes ignored by most. Look at the thread I started, "You are not an artist!"
Probably the most confrontational thread I ever made. And within 24 hours, it got more views than even the forum rules proper did in over a year, and almost as many replies as the stickied feedback thread. Do you really think I would have gotten such a dramatic response with touchy-feely Culture of Nice pap? Of course not.
Whether people loved it or hated it, that thread got them thinking.
And this goes back to my earlier point. You criticized me saying I should question why I believe things. Well what the hell do you think that thread was about? I was forcing people to question their definition of artistry. I directly challenged their claims, something no one else here had ever done before. And when I was banned for being rude, the forum came out in force in support of me despite my approach to discourse being equivalent to taking a boat out into shark-infested waters with a bucket of chum and a dinner bell and screaming, "COME AND GET IT!!"
You may hate my methods, but I get better results than all of my critics put together.
Do you count most of the most views as "results?" Most of the posts were going against you. I would count results as people siding with you.
I dont hate him. He's just going againts the flow. I had a little argument with morgician previously as well, but i did not feel hatred or anything similar towards him before, during and after the argument.
You don't like HIS approach - yet I see SO many posts MORE aggresive and full of crap than ANY post Steerpike could write while drunk - and YOU tolerate it.
AThough your constant rudeness has led me to the fact you are a douchebag, in an out you are a jackass. Do you have a wife or a girlfriend? If so then how can they stand so much damn criticism from one human being?
You just like to be right and make people agree with your opinions.
I only know of him on the forums where he is a complete jerk because he knows everything somehow.
He constantly talks like he is quoting from a magical advice book,
while he says that his film is precious and he has no way to film his endeavors in magic. I have no idea if he makes his living off of magic or not and not allowing anybody to see it makes me believe that he knows very little.
I just can't wait to see what you write and how I am wrong about what you are doing and why I am at fault because apparently my opinion of you is wrong and how I am misguided or w/e crap you decide to type down this time.
This thread is meant for discussion of the topic at hand. Anything off topic from the original post should not be posted. This is just a nice place where a T11 artist makes a thread and we just give our responses and look at other responses.
What drives me? Evolution. Make of that what you will.
