Alright, fair enough, I didn't know you were talking to him in any way other than what I've seen. It definitely puts a different spin on your post.
Still, now discluding your post, I see a bit too much of that on the forums. I'd much rather hear what is wrong with my work than "Looks very nice." That is how people get better. I like hearing compliments as much as the next guy, but it does annoy me when I see an entire page of "Ehh, colors. 7/10," 'in the Rate the sig of the poster above you!' thread. I'm not supporting talking down to someone, there usually is something to comment on positively in an image even when the rest of your post is critique. Or I've grown too used to more cynical forums, where as this one is completely different.
[Long story short- I'm ranting about nothing because I'm worried about my semester grade and the final exam I finished today]
