BTW: Did your teachers at school "sugar coat" their answers or did they just mark the mistakes and told you that you did not pass?
When I was in school, they simply told me that I did not pass and that my work was insufficient (or whatever). They never sugar coated their answers. I wonder why this system is that old then.

Yea they showed my mistakes , but they didn't say "You suck, don't ever be an mathematician (or whatever)" There is still a difference of being blunt and being nice about. Even just saying it is bad is enough. You say you want them to figure out what they did wrong. How is insulting their work helping? If anything it hurts.

I suggest that you read what I wrote again.
At this level you just argue against someone you invented yourself. Not me.

Moreover this way I've chosen here is much more offending than every other criticism of mine before: because it clearly shows how stupid this is.

Teachers don't say my ideas are stupid. I don't see how I made up how you write down your criticism. This argument could go on forever so unless I feel the need of bringing up somethign new, I won't argue right now. I know you literally don't say you suck don't try, but you might as well.

Einstein's grade school teacher wrote his mother a note on his report card that said he was a failure and would never amount to anything in life.

Actually, I think martin has very unique ways of telling people they shouldnt do graphics. For instance, my friend Gerard Hugh made some. Martin simply posted this:

My maths teacher told me he hoped I would fail my final exams ... he was stood in front of the entire class when he said it. So I stopped doing anything in lessons and didn't revise ... and I passed. Hooya

Ive recently been told by a number of people that im heading nowhere, and that my lack of effort means I will never be able to achive any of my ambitions what so ever. Something I needed to hear to be honest...luckily It means I have one last chance to make it.

So I tottaly agree with what martin does...different reason I know, but I think many of you are forgetting how many complete and total idiots live out there in internet land.

LOL thats great!

It would be better if you simlpy send a private message to a gm instead of writing: Lock this topic. I doubt, a gm will read all 7 pages.
(though, maybe martin read them)
