Did you miss the part where I said I'm not specifically defending HIS case with ALL my argument?
If he hasn't even seen your artwork, then he simply cannot comment on your artwork. It doesn't mean he can't find you non-creative in other ways that he's seen.
My main point is: You said you're against criticism that isn't constructive, yet you've never said a bad word to me in all the times I've simply praised your work without so much as a "Well I think..." style explanation.

And as I said initially, I don't think he can judge whether I am creative or not unless he HAS seen my artwork, because I really don't put any effort into my sigs at all unless it's for a contest or something.
And why would I? I know you, I know you're honest, and I know that if I ask you for concrit I'll get it. What I don't like is when people don't like something yet don't explain it - how does that help me any? How does that help me see what it is that I could improve on? It doesn't.
Actually I just realized it is my fault.....I made this hilariously funny joke to begin with.

I'd vote for you, but I think you aren't creative.
And when I was confronted with a total lack of humour I, instead of solving it or continuing to joke, just went back to serious mode with this:

Well, I have seen some of your sigs....I never really felt the urge to visit your thread though....so I did only once or twice, can't really remember though.
That was just meant as a true answer not related to what I said before.
So when she said that she sold her stuff I just wanted to generally explain that selling stuff (even art) doesn't mean that the stuff is creative or good...I did that by posting this:

Yeah, well, that doesn't mean it is good or creative though.
After that I decided to call anyone that disagrees with this very reasonable opinion an idiot

I totally understand why you hate it, and you have every right to hate it, but how do you know that despite what I say, there are things I believe could be improved on? Hypothetically?
That said, I've never seen you ask for concrit from any of the replies on your site, most of them being one liners, hardly constructive at all.
Point being, if you dislike criticism without it being constructive, you should dislike it from both ends. Not everyone is as honest as I am, they could have many ideas for improvement but not say it.

Yeah, most people only post one-liners on there, and more increasingly, people just don't post anything at all, which while I'm glad people like it, I really would rather get SOME sort of response. But I do have a few people on there who have always given me crit, and I've improved a LOT because of it.
(and quite frankly, I spend a few hours a day answering messages on there anyway, and there are oftentimes that I have too many to even reply to. And I'm not even that well-known)
