Edit: This was originally a thread that basically said all the same things as the link below.  Read further and it'll probably all become clear as to why the first half dozen or so posts in this thread were removed. :)

Or, you could've just linked us to Maddox' site itself.

The fact that you're stealing bandwidth from what appears to be some sort of gay clothing store is also something that's a no-no for internet etiquette.  Perhaps you'd be so good as to take those images down and stop wasting everyone's bandwidth?

That is true.  It's like nothing is ever truly baleted...

I didn't laugh either.(Well the hairy car description made me chuckle.) I'm still trying to figure out why it bugs him that people put their kids drawings up. Why not go the whole hog and complain about people putting up photos of their ugly partners and kids, and really be offensive?
As well, he was right off on his marking system. If you look at all those pictures they show that the kids have all really well developed skills -using size, proportion, body detail, shapes. In fact, those kids are really clever artists. Even the hairy car shows the child is experimenting with drawing wind, speed and direction - very clever.

Oh, and just to be completely pedantic, it's "than" not "then." I hope that was Echani's mistake not Maddox's(?) It would sort of undo his whole "I am the best" thing if he couldn't spell.

Heh, I seriously doubt those were made by actual kids, but more likely himself.

Even if they were made by children, he was just joking around. Maybe he didn't really mean it?

My guess is they were made by kids. If you look at the pictures you can see different styles of drawing, and different stages of development- varying degrees of fine motor control, use of colour, developing knowledge of foreground and background. He would have to know a lot about how kids develop to fake that. (And he obviously doesn't, or else he wouldn't have bothered with this piece.) Do you suppose he got copyright permission from their folks? Do they know their childrens' work is being slagged off on the InterNet? Do you suppose he still goes around to their place for dinner? Does he look the kid in the eye and say "Your drawing is a piece of crap"? I don't think so.

I'm amazed that he thinks he might get work on the strength of his stuff. Although he doesn't say where.

For the record, I am not a mother, just a dedicated aunt.

Is Icelus bagging mothers?  :o

I think it's a great title, although it doesn't work for a pirate.

Bagging.  That's one of those words that carries different connotations depending on your locale. 

Do you refer to shagging, which rhymes with bagging, with a mention of Shagbag that makes this post legitimate for a BG2 forum?  :D

If only my legitimate posts were counted, I would have a grand total of three.
"Bagging" as in slandering/abusing/slagging off. Completely different to shagging. My post would have been completely scandalous and a candidate for baleeting if bagging was the same as shagging. :D
