Eli Schiff just telling it how it is.

- -Let me begin by saying my views on this comment: I don't care. I honestly don’t feel strongly one way or the other about them making a video promo for gradients. Could it have just been a simple text tweet? Sure. Does it really matter that they decided to make a video for it? Not at all. - -But this isn’t the problem. - -Other designers took to Twitter and started attacking Eli, not even as a design critic but as a person. This was ugly to see. What happened to civil discussion and giving the other side a chance to say their piece? Calling to "ban him" from sites such as DesignerNews or suggesting to unfollow him on Twitter is unbelievably childish - in an industry that we tote as "accepting of everyone" no less. - -That's all I'm going to say because I don’t want to spend too much time on this foolishness, but honestly designers - get some thicker skin. - -Yeesh. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
