> I don't write poor quality movie reviews anyway, then rage on anyone who tells me that my taste in movies isn't so good. That's some American Idol shit right there.
Quit being disingenuous. You didn't just tell me that my taste in design isn't so good, you urged me to go get trained in design before I'm allowed to speak about it. You're entitled to your opinions regarding film, and I'm entitled to mine that your reviews reflect poor taste in film. I will not, however, tell you that you're not allowed to write about film until you've graduated film school. There's a difference.
I have no idea what "American Idol shit" is supposed to mean.
> You are arguing against both (many) trained designers and heavily up-voted items -- don't you think that means anything?
Actually, my comment bitching about you and loud designers like you in the other thread is the single most heavily upvoted comment on any account I've ever had. Put it this way: it singlehandedly gave me downvote privileges on this relatively new account.
I think many people in tech, myself included, are tired of know-it-alls that poopoo everything that doesn't meet their standards. You are that, and the worst kind; the one that appeals to "taste" and other ivory tower ideals in their zealotry to squash all things below them.
> There's no arrogance or elitism here, it's self-awareness.
I think this has descended into you making ad hominem attacks on me, so I'm not going to reply anymore, since it's no longer an argument. I feel as if my point has been made and there is no need to continue this back and forth. Again, I'm sorry that you were offended, and it's too bad this is how you react.
And please, if I do write about film and it's bad, just tell me. I'd rather know than continue doing it poorly. And if I was still passionate about it, yes, I would think education, perhaps film school, would help.

The absolute last thing you are is self-aware.
