I was secretly just hoping that this would be illogical for the epic irony! But usually the one to take offense first is the one seen as villain so... you played yourself!!
I agree with you, especially since he/she also said some puzzles were illogical, while they weren't.. Just because he doesn't know/use/know how to use some "advanced" methods..
It can be highly frustrating when a puzzle is illogical (and I mean puzzles that can't be solved with temps) so I see where they are coming from. If you have a problem with someone's comment then tell them in a comment rather than publicly humiliating them by putting their username in a puzzle.
@Rifka252 Apparently you haven't any read his comments. He purposely writes mean comments on any illogical puzzle he finds. Even if the puzzle requires a single guess, like when it comes down to just two squares, he harasses the puzzle creator. I mean look at the comment he made on this puzzle: "Nah, I'm good". He is clearly a troll.
I appreciate that. I didn't say the comments were fair. But what made you think this was the solution? Puzzles should be fun not used to call out someone who has annoyed you.
@Rifka252 I didn't make this because he annoyed me. I made this because he tries to hurt others. Like Tamara said "Every Hanjie creator deserves encouragement and support." Even if a Hanjie is illogical, you can leave constructive criticism or say something encouraging. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Notice how in the title, the description, and all of my comments I did not say anything truly hurtful. All I did was call him out on his bullying. What's wrong with that?
Well what's done is done now since they have seen it. You're right about constructive criticism being the best way forward so let's just leave it there. Maybe try constructive criticism yourself first :)
I've not been on this site for almost three months due to being in hospital. I was quite dismayed when I came across this Hanjie. The way this Hanjie has been done is just as bad as someone giving abusive or hurtful comments. What did you have in mind when you created a hanjie telling someone to "take a chill pill"!! Now I'm not saying it is ok to leave hurtful comments on other Hanjies but what this Hanjie is doing is putting the focus on one person and effectively naming & shaming the person. Two wrongs do not make a right!! It was these kind of Hanjies that eventually caused me to ask for all the Hanjies I had created removed (almost 3000 I created).
@Puzzledanita Look, I respect your opinion, but you don't need to guilt trip me into agreeing with you. I don't agree that I did a wrong. I am happy that I called this person out on his crap. Also, notice how I never really say anything truly hurtful anywhere on this page. I never tell anyone to type mean comments on any of his Hanjies. Hell, only 76 people have solved it so far and know who I'm talking about. Not really destroying this person's life as much as you think I am, which by the way was never my intention in the first place. Also again, you shouldn't let these kinds of things get to you. I would understand if the Hanjies you were talking about in the last sentence were directing hate towards you specifically. But if they're just directing hate towards other people, I honestly can't understand where you're coming from, especially since these Hanjies are most likely few and far between on this site (at least from the ones I've seen). I just wanted to stick up for the people who this person harshly and wrongly criticized. And judging from the first few comments of this Hanjie, I did the right thing. I'm sorry if I insulted you as bad as I apparently did, but don't guilt trip me for doing what I thought was right.
Newk00paUSA: I find you get very defensive when someone disagrees with you, which to me is odd behaviour - not everyone agrees and this is what stops life being too dull. So why get so defensive over someone else's opinion - my reaction is to accept someone else's opinion and leave it at that. I can tell from your other comments above that you believe you were right and anyone who tells you otherwise gets a tirade of accusations - for example your accusation that I'm trying to guilt trip you and that I should stop doing that - at no point have I told you you are bad - I simply stated creating a hanjie puzzle that names and shames a person is as bad as someone leaving abusive/hurtful comments. As for guilt tripping you, in order for you to feel this you must have felt something was wrong - people only get guilt tripped if they feel they have done wrong - if you believe you are justified in creating this hanjie than you would never feel guilty no matter what is said. As for the way to deal with one person who is starting to annoy you due to negative/hurtful comments on many of the hanjies puzzles, is to email the site administration or use there contact us form. I did this for someone who was constantly telling people their puzzles were awful and accusing people of being rubbish due to this. I contacted them as did several other people which resulted in all the comments they were making were removed and they could no longer comment on any puzzles. Finally, I stopped my online presence due to exactly what has happened here - I got so fed up with people stuck in one way of thinking and unable to see all sides. I decided that not only this site but other sites were not adding to any enjoyment so why put myself online for people to criticise me. As I stated previously the only way to stop this constant tirade was to have no online presence and I do not regret that choice.
@Puzzledanita I'm not getting defensive because I disagree with you. I'm getting defensive because you hurt me. How? Read the last sentence of your first comment and try to think from my point of view. "It was these kind of Hanjies that eventually caused me to ask for all the Hanjies I had created removed (almost 3000 I created)." What do you think that tells me? It tells me that it's because of people like me that some girl had years of her work deleted. That may have not been what you meant, but that's what I got from it. That's where the guilt tripping came from. It had nothing to do with the Hanjie. As for your recommended way of dealing with people like this person, I did not know you could do that. But what's done is done. At least a fun puzzle came out of it. I'm going to say it again, I respect your opinion and I'm sorry for insulting you as bad as I apparently did. Now let's end this argument with smiles on both our faces like the one me and Rifka252 had on the same topic above this one, okay? :) He/she ended the argument with a smile, and I therefore smiled as well and felt no reason to argue anymore. In fact, that was my true goal with this Hanjie: to put smiles on the good guys and frowns on the bad guys.
I still stand by the last line in my first posting - it was exactly Hanjies like this that made me request my work was removed. A similar hanjie to this one here was the thing that put the final nail in the coffin for me. If you are hurt by that comment then maybe you need to consider the content of your future Hanjie puzzles - you may find some people reacting in very similar way to myself to similar hanjies. The reason this kind of hanjie dismays me is it is naming and shaming someone publicly ? now I?m not saying the person is innocent or hasn?t posted hurtful comments but this isn?t the way to do it. The reason this hanjie dismays me is I have come out hospital (after spending a few months there) and the first thing I did was attend a friend?s funeral ? she killed herself after she got a lot of abuse online following someone else ?jokingly? making a similar comment to your hanjie ? no one thought it would lead to further abuse and the fact it did shows the strength of an online comment. I haven?t got any further comments and I will agree to disagree.
