Skinny,

What if Vox's pockets were really askew, and not just because he rushed out of his car and snapped the photo? Does the emperor have no clothes? I think the poster was not being inappropriate in bringing this to Vox's attention. As it turns out, it was not a defect. But in theory, it could have been, however unlikely. Flying off the handle at this comment is really unjustified.

i think everyone agrees that poor fits shouldnt be praised, but should be met with constructive criticism, if the poster is accepting of it. there is no disputing that.

I made that point to counter Skinny when he disagreed with me saying that WAYWRN has gotten better - I agree, but the noise has also increased. My point still remains that criticism (even foolish nitpicking) is better than a continous stream of "Great jacket !!!11!!!" type posts.

If nii doesn't like what I said, well I can't do anything about that. I just felt that rant against me was very surprising when we agree on the point being made. <sigh>


Lets just agree to disagree, since my post clearly raises three points, and everyone seems fixated on only one of the three points.

I'll respond to your PMs to keep the thread clean.
