I'm sorry but... no. No one is insulting the people themselves criticizing style=/=insulting the artist/finalist. What you are saying and insinuating doesn't make sense what so over. I'm sorry you feel "insulted" by peoples opinions, but no one should have to feel bad about giving their personal opinion, ESPECIALLY if they aren't harming anyone, which I do not see here.

As far as I can tell and read, no one here is trying to insult anyone or their hard work.

EDIT:

The question in hand wasn't about the cheater in particular. She was simply replying to me making a comment how awful it must feel to be a finalist and have everyone tell you that most of the finalists didn't deserve to be there over others. You're right that this is a public forum and therefore opinions are expected, but that doesn't mean someone can't have tact when appreciating artwork without putting down others.

I wasn't actually pointing out the cheater specifically. But since there was a cheater found in the finalists bracket, it seemed that people will only naturally question how SE's people who chose these finalists, actually went about it. This is the second time a cheater has won/placed, so it starts to beg certain questions about how the contests are ran.

I think it's great you made it into the finalists bracket, did better than I ever could dream of doing, I'm not much of an artist myself, digitally or otherwise. So anyone that can and is willing to make any type of art has my praise at actually doing it! But again, I'm sorry to say I really don't see in this thread, really anywhere that people are trying to actually insult the creators of the final works or the finalists themselves.
