People who can't take criticism should not be running a business in SL.
It's amazing that all the attention to my site suddenly appeared when the mega-bitch designers suddenly discovered that someone objected to their promoting cigarettes in their ads. Now you all come and crap in my tagboard instead of THINKING ABOUT THE EFFECT OF YOUR OWN STUPID-ASS ADVERTISING.
Y'all can go whine somewhere else. Don't like it - don't visit my site.

To quote your headline, try to be more professional. Your swearing, name calling, and all-caps screaming diminishes you and your website. Taking a critical look at designs and quality is perfectly valid -- yet you resort to personal attacks and snarkiness to get your "points" across. And now, you're complaining that people are criticizing you? Hmmmm... |

"Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others with the intention of helping the reader or the artist, rather than creating an oppositional attitude." You seem to be in need of the definition to go along with your correctly spelled use of the word criticism. There's a difference between criticism and defamation of character. |

Speaking of professionalism...
 Now you all come and crap in my tagboard instead of THINKING ABOUT THE EFFECT OF YOUR OWN STUPID-ASS ADVERTISING. I think it's awesome advertising when people put out banal prefabs with poorly-textured packaging. _____________________

Well at least you took the time to come post... though Im astonished that you completely missed the fact that no one was supporting you NOR was it just "mega-bitch desginers" who responded negatively to that thread.
No wait, Im not astonished at all that you chose to ignore it. What on EARTH is the effect of a prim placed in an avi's mouth that smokes... please... do enlighten us. God... where is the laughing hysterically smile-face! |

Seriously, though, I am going to make sure that I am smoking in all of my adverts from now on. I have this feeling that people who are interested in buying replica firearms and smoke-belching steampunk devices probably aren't that concerned about tobacco inhalation, and it's great publicity to get boycotted.
Period fags only, of course. I'll have to look up a few designs. Actually, maybe I could sell those! |

WOOOT... you grew some balls and joined the convo here finally.
I was one that posted on your tag board, since I believe if you have something to say, you should say it directly instead of taking pot shots. I support websites that offer information and feedback in a professional manner on the products offered in SL. However, I have yet to see anything about your site that is professional or anything close to feedback. What I read was rude comments and personal attacks on 2 people. I also saw broad statements in which you seem to claim that you're speaking for the masses of SL. It's your site.. do what you will with it.. but dont be suprised when people respond this way when you attack people. _____________________

It's in English, and it is used primarily in the U.S. South.
It is a contraction for "you" and "all," meaning, "all of you." coco _____________________
