An open message to someone who I can't note.
13 years ago
This was intended to be a private message to someone who disagrees with my opinion, but they blocked me over a difference of opinion... Which I find childish. This is intended to give them a way to read my response, and hopefully is vague enough that noone will know who it's for except the person that it's for. I am not intending to create drama, I disagree entirely with people blocking because of silly overreactions, instead of trying to actually work a petty disagreement out. It shows a poor personality on the blocking party's end, and only causes unnecessary drama.
"First I'd like to say it's bad form to discuss disagreements in shouts, particularly *3* of them.
Secondly, No, I do not attack everything you say. I am not attacking you, either, and the only thing we've had disagreements on is sewing techniques. This I think was only under discussion twice now including the current disagreement.
Third, You did NOT say just their sewing was shit. You said their entire craftsmanship was shit, which I completely agreed with you on, however I disagreed with your more blanket statement of one thing that they did wrong: "Hand stitched, not serged". That statement gives a complete opinion of serging being better than hand stitching, and I just wanted to explain again why this is a bull opinion. Both can be good. Serging can be done badly. Neither is more professional than the other, it is the PERSON that is professional or not.
I completely agree with you that THEIR sewing was shit and unprofessional, especially for $1000. I'll admit that you have the upper hand for suit quality on that person, even though I disapprove of cutting the edges of the fur like that because it can contribute to a more visible seam, though most of your seams are solid colour changes anyway so it doesn't matter too much.
There are lots of things I do not comment about, and several times where I've tried to make as nice a comment as I could, in particular when you were asking people for advice what to do, and my opinion was take your time to figure yourself out before you figure out other people's problems.
I'm not, and have never been, attacking you, if anything I'm criticising your blanket statement that, objectively, DOES state in a way that says "all serging is better than hand-stitching".
Please understand that a difference of opinion does not mean an attack, especially when I try to word things in as polite a way as possible. I say nothing against you, or your work, and I even agreed with you. That's not an attack, and I would appreciate that you don't post defamatory remarks on my page. If you want to talk to me about an issue you have, send me a note, because nobody needs stupid drama."

Sounds like this person can't take Constructive Criticism very well.

they have a tendency to delete posts that people make that are even remotely negative of their work.

OP
I don't appreciate blanket statements. A lot of people that I know are well-balanced, great people who can handle a disagreement or two, even some who aren't my friends, just people on the internet.
