Lifting the Veil

Right as I open up a draft to type something my contact starts squirreling around in my eye. Now, I'm typing this while my eye is a watery mess. An omen? Not very sure.

It seems as fast as Anonymous blogs are made, they are going down just as quickly. 

Recently (it's not going to be a hard story to guess), An anonymous blog was made, but within a week or two the blog was deleted. What I am sad about is that this anonymous being was quite reasonable. So, what blog did they run?

'Reviews of Graphic Designers on Stardoll!'

Nevermind the wordy blog name, but the content on the blog was quite good. The blogger managed to get in  7 reviews before they shut down the blog. One of the reviews I enjoyed was the one of Lige07, a well known graphic designer who has made a heck of an improvement in a short time.

Here's a little taster:

For starters, the blogger seems to have quite a taste for 'custom poses' which leads me (forgive me for the tangent) to the thought that he/she may be running this not-very-publicized graphics competition in the blogosphere.

Meet Graphic Unmasked, another blog that seems to encourage making Stardoll Graphics, except...without the 'Stardoll'. Graphic designers who have a knack for not using any medoll faces or reference images could have a field day with this, but please remind me something; How much non-medoll, non-reference image people are there? Not a lot, I can tell you that.

Returning to the point, GD-reviews, or the anonymous user who ran the Graphic Designer Review blog also managed to be neutral with his or her reviews. Though they seem to advice more than compliment, we can analyze through the post on Lige07 that he/she is fair and not too harsh. Many people nodded their heads with approval of the user and the reviews:

So why did the sudden deletion? Turns out we've found an anonymous who has a heart (you know...because we usually portray them as heartless souls). After a few days of staying silent, GD-reviews put something up on their presentation that made me a bit surprised:

(you know what to do...)
GD-reviews was simply guilty because they thought they were unfairly rating each user. Well, that's quite considerate. We shall shower him/her in kudos because he/she feels so. I personally liked the reviews, as I mentioned before, they were honest and straightforward. It didn't seem like they were exaggerating points at all. I can see why some of the reviewed graphic designers may be unhappy (some really great ones got an 'F'), and why the user felt like they needed to take down the blog.
So, I shall applaud them for being one of the few with maturity in this virtual world.

Anyhoo, they have this whole tinychat thing planned on the 24th of August. I'm surprised they are really preparing themselves for the so-called 'revenges'. To be frank, I doubt that they'll get much hate.

so...
Do you have an opinion of who GD-reviews may be?
Do you think his/her reviews were too harsh or just right (if you read them)?
What do you think of his/her actions?
and also:
Opinions on that 'Graphics Unmasked' competition?

The watery eye was an omen indeed, what a lousy post.
