Let's me cut out your points and try and assess what you're actually trying to say.

@Dio:
I cordially say...fuc* you. I've seen you constantly run your mouth to people acting like you're better than they are at damn near everything. You're a stuck up, self proclaimed know it all.
Even now..."here's mine. whatever. threw it together." you're like a schoolgirl. you were tested and bested...pride got damaged, and you made excuses as to why yours might not have been up to par, and now you feel the need to redeem yourself, or you never would have made another attempt. You don't like to settle for second best, but deal with it, because you suck.
Alright, let me stop you right here. I'm proud to say I honestly don't suck. I'm not covering for anything at all. I said I threw it together to merely indicate that I'm not satisfied with the current result. I still think it's at least as good as Branden's first one. And this isn't something I've just suddenly acquired. I've practiced my technique, taken criticism and changed a lot of what I do. However, in comparison to the vast majority of people who attempt image editing on forums like this, I am better. Was I always this way? No. My first work was awful. But I've improved.
And I think I've improved to the point where I can offer criticism. that's much more constructive than "Unity or not...it's good work.
The cutting can be fixed simply by using an eraser brush and softening the outline." Essentially, you just took my entire post, disregarded the real evaluation I gave, and tossed my advice out the window. You're not helping when you take that kind of stance. I might be an asshole, but I'm a correct asshole.

So he didn't cut it well. I gave him a solution to the problem, so I probably helped him more than you did by simply throwing it back in his face, even though you'd 'later claim' (proof of the future accusation) that you're simply trying to help. Then, you try to use thought out reasoning to prove your points and make it appear as though your intentions are otherwise.
Nice. I like how you know how I think. I'll be sure to ask you next time I try and do something myself.
Honestly, I can't respond to this. You can think what you like about me.

"Bishop-Humping Positive Reinforcing" he says...people don't grow or continue to have interest in things without positive support. If you beat people to the ground by calling them "amateurs" (even if they are!) for every attempt they make without providing a solution or some for of positive feedback (yours is either negative or neutral) and try to help them (wait! that sounds like you!) then they'll feel inadequate, and you're nothing more than a fuc**** bully.
I'm pretty sure that I've never made myself out to be a nice person. You're entirely right. I don't like when people improve at all. I mean, I didn't compliment Branden for his work. I don't have a certain level of pride as a designer. Oh no, not pride in my work. It's not like I feel as I have an obligation to enforce quality. But, of course, you know me.

Grow up! Don't respond unless you have something better to say than "hey! you made noticeable errors, therefore you suck. But I don't mean that. At least I didn't say it to put you down." Nobody wants to hear your belligerent ongoing rants of self-absorption.
That's cool.

His was the best "IN MY OPINION..." key words jackass...Then you taunt me. fuc* off cyber bully.
You honestly don't belong here. This is a community. People are supposed to help one another. The only thing I've seen you do is point out faults and put people down all the while trying to sound oh so impressive at everything you do. I've never seen you compliment anyone. (not saying you never have, just saying it's fuc**** rare)
Cool story bro. I like how you say you haven't seen me compliment anyone and then clarify the sentiment which is entirely different from the content. It's funny.
Listen, I don't try to be a complete asshole, but that's generally that way I think. Sure, you might not like it, but I'm not someone who doesn't appreciate quality either. If someone comes out with quality work, I say something if it intrigues me. Subsonic, Blizzard, and Aqua are people I tend to respect and admire because they've proven themselves to be competent in their fields of work. I don't give out compliments very much because I have a distinct sense of quality. I hold myself to those standards as well. If I don't think something is worth posting, I'll tell you.
But I'm not doing it just for me. In fact, what do I get out of it? Nothing. I'm doing it so that people will get the idea that a community isn't run on unfinished, unprofessional ideas, but on improving the techniques you observe and create for yourself. You don't get many places with compliments if they aren't realistic. Once you produce work that shows improvement, I'll tell you. And that's my worth as a critic. I don't slide standards for amateurs and I'm honest. I might have high quality standards, but at least I'm not living with double standards.
