Jerry,
Really, you are making an issue out of nothing. I think it’s pretty clear to most other members here, the judges and the like, which entries were the strongest and on what account.
The competition was a “sick ass rendering”. Key word being rendering. This 1HDC wasn’t so much a problem solving competition, (as others have been), but more a skills based rendering competition. Sorry, but your skills in this department just didn’t cut it. If you can’t look at your own drawing, the others, and compare, I don’t think any amount of “professional comments” will help. From your tone all along, it’s pretty obvious you don’t really want feedback, you are looking for a pat on the back. Not going to happen, bro.
As for the personal remarks to IP, they are certainly not constructive, and certainly not within the tone that is acceptable here on the core boards.
