I am confused. You seem to be implying that I have made "blanket criticisms of raters" and that I have taken "pot shots at SC, raters, and GD."
This couldn't be any further from the truth. Please go back and read my post on this subject.
I have no intention of criticising any course, designer, writer, magazing or rater on this board, and I don't think I have done so in any way.
I was speaking very broadly about design looks/styles and their acceptability.
Maybe you were referencing someone else in your post when you spoke of 'hookers, favors, etc. Unless my computer is on the blink/ demon possessed, whatever, I didn't partake in that discussion about raters. I will leave that to those that are really in the know.
Raters do a good job, in an impossible task, imho.
