You know, there are hundreds of posts under the "Advertising" folder of this forum. All of them are from designers who would like to mention their work.

And in every post I've seen, people have been very respectful of the designers. They don't debate or criticize that person's work. They simply accept that this person would like to throw his name out there for anyone who interested in hiring him.

But whatever reason, you people felt compelled to pick apart my method of doing things instead of just leaving the thread open to potential clients. Oddly, I don't see that on any others posts.

People, you can code with tables or you can code with CSS. It doesn't mean a thing if you don't know how to create compelling designs. Just because you know how to set-up a DIV tag does not mean you have the right to sling mud at fellow designers.

My clients hire me because of the service I provide. I could really care less what other designers think because you don't pay bring any money to the table for me. The people that matter to me are the clients, and they love the service I provide.

Further more, there have been several times when I have posted to this forum to get feedback on drafts, and I get childish remarks like "sucks." I'm beginning to believe this forum is overrun with 14-year-olds.

Any PROFESSIONAL designer who is actually educated knows a thing or two about constructive criticism. "sucks." is not constructive feedback. The definition of constructive feedback means you describe something that does not work for aesthetic reasons, and provide an alternative suggestion. Plus, any professional knows that a draft design does not mean it's polished and ready to go live. It means you've started with a bare bones concept and would like advice on how to flesh it out.

Oh, and a sidenote to lmclaney, who started this whole debate. You may know how to write a DIV tag, but you certainly don't know how to spell or use grammar properly. It's a good thing you believe you're a genius with code, because I don't see how you communicate in the real world. My guess is that one e-mail to a client and they would die laughing after seeing the way you write!

My advice is to spend a little less time picking apart code, and take a few days to study a dictionary. Do you know what that word is? Look it up on Wikipedia.

Best of luck to all of you! I hope you enjoy disrespecting other people who are trying to network here. May you get exactly what's coming to you.
