In case you aren't aware, deleting does not achieve transparency in some image types. It simply "fills the selection". Therefore it is different, and does not achieve the exact same thing as cutting it out. And even if it did, it is STILL a different method, and the moderator asked me to point out how my method is different. I did just that. I did not say my wording was perfect, please point out where I said that? I said it was, in my opinion, better than the other thread's. I also mention some things it doesn't, like how the line tool is easier to use. I never said there was a problem with the other tutorial, I simply stated I prefer my wording to it's wording, there doesn't have to be a problem for me to prefer something. And just because they are alike does not mean this thread deserves a lock, I don't see how that justifies it. This thread has a different way of doing it, better wording in my opinion, and mentions things the other thread doesn't, it well deserves a thread of it's own.
So now we've acknowledged the threads aren't exactly identical . As for the skimming, I don't see why it matters. This "mess" wouldn't exist if you didn't fail to see this thread deserves it's own thread, not because I made it. In fact if someone puts hard work into something, despite it being SIMILAR (Notice, I didn't say identical) to another thread, then it shouldn't be locked anyways.
Are you kidding me? I don't see a point in resizing the images if the moderator plans on locking this, which I am not sure if he's going to do so. That was perfectly justified, how was I arrogant in any way? He did not demand I do anything other than respond to his first point before 24 hours so he doesn't lock it. I obeyed. He didn't DEMAND I change the image sizes immediately (For good reasons too, he was probably planning on locking it), so I don't see how I didn't do what a moderator told me to do. And I treated him with respect the whole time, since when can't you negotiate with moderators? And let's assume that we can't. Let's quote his words: "(I'm going to give you 24 hours right of reply to point 1 before I lock this.)". He literally asked for a negotiation. Which I responded to. So please learn to read before you call me out on my "arrogance".
It was an example to the plagiarism he claimed. He stated that both my tutorial and the other one has "leave no gaps" (with different wording). The medicine capsule was to make a point, that it is quite obvious to leave no gaps, and just because I pointed it out does not mean I copied the other tutorial. Just as obvious as it is to print "Keep away from children" warnings on medicine capsules. It does not mean I copied anything.
Thank you. But please understand the moderator told me to "talk back" (as you worded it), here it is again. "(I'm going to give you 24 hours right of reply to point 1 before I lock this.)" I was not aware that this method was similar enough to cause an argument and to make you feel the need to join in . If I had noticed the other tutorial earlier I probably would have never gone through the effort of making this tbh, but now that it's made, I really don't think it should be locked. Especially if it isn't the exact same as the other tutorial, they're different, and therefore deserve threads of their own.
