I've just about had it with some of the frigging stoopid comments people leave. I'm about ready to disable comments on stuff. I always enable critiques, so I can read your responses and valid critique. What irritates the crappouttame is these type of comments:

This isn't art in my eyes.
This picture says nothing.
If you don't do (what I want) your work is a waste of time.
I don't like it - stop doing these.
I don't like that color.
I hate (insert car make here).

Seriously, what the phuck is any artist supposed to take away from this commentary? OOOOhhh sorry, next time we'll run it past you first to see if it's "art", or if you approve? Ideally critique, is supposed to provide the artist with suggestions to improve the work. Drawing something you like doesn't make it "better" in anyone's eye but yours. Telling someone their art is a waste of time is not just a little bit offensive to any artist. If you don't like it, fine. Lots of people might not like some of your stuff either, but they keep their opinions to themselves, because their opinion of your expression doesn't matter.

Artists don't create art for anyone other than themselves and their clientele. Whether you like the color they picked matters not. Your opinion of what constitutes art, matters not. Whether the art "speaks" to you, impresses you or thrills you doesn't matter either.

If you like it, fine - tell them why. If you don't, either provide a meaningful, mature critique or explaination. If all you have to add is "this is ugly to me" then consider your self pre-advised to STFU.
