So does that mean it's just okay?

I applied to one of those elite icon communities. Didn't get in, which is kind of what I was expecting but this amused me -

[paraphrased]

Person A: Your cropping is nice, I especially like it on This Particular Icon.

Person B: Your cropping is quite crap, especially on these icons including This Particular Icon.

The same particular icon?

Elite comms suck. Through rotten eggs at them until they fall off their pedestals and land face first in the dirt with the rest of us mere mortals.

Nah, I don't mean it like that. I was just amused is all. And yeah, the same particular icon.

It shows that a) deliberate elitism is ridiculous and b) everything artistic is subjective, and apart from obvious rubbish there's nothing to say who's best or right/wrong.

This is why I like my science.

Not that I can make icons but *shrugs* I can crop a picture. ;p (BUNNY!)

Bunny!

And I can understand what you're saying I just can't be all judgey myself since I do belong to a few "elite" comms. :p

It's a plot bunny! Though I completely didn't steal it from the header of a fic archive *shifty eyes*

And I run a fic community with limited membership. *shrugs* It's vaguely hypocritical. Though in my defence, it's a fic challenge, and only those who signed up for the challenge are members but it irks me a little.
