It seems my manners have offended you, and for that, I give you my deepest apology. 

You are right in saying that I hardly write any comments in Deviant Art. And I don't. I don't write thank-you's to every comment I receive.
But please do understand that it is not out of pride and vanity.
I do know that my works have many flaws, and that I do not even deserve many of those praising comments.

It was my personal belief, plus my own Asian/Confucian culture that made me rest on 'prudent silence' and think it wise.
But thanks to you, I can now realize that such behaviour of mine could in fact make me look arrogant and disrespectful, and therefore spawn misunderstandings. 

Also, it's my another mere excuse that I have been using this website more like an online portfolio than community.
For the latter function I concentrate almost solely on Facebook. On Facebook, it being literally a Social-Network, I try my best to answer all the questions and personal messages, or e-mails.

But still, it's my fault that I've been neglectful, regardless of what my intention was. 

I'll take it as an opportunity to give my apology to those who might have been upset. 
And for that, I thank you.

I hope you'd understand that it was not my intent at all to be what you blame me to be.

This alarming awareness I will most sincerely take.


With best wishes for both you and your future works,
Joongwon.

I was already a fan of your work to begin with, but your professional and level-headed response to this comment just made me a fan of you as a person.  Thank you for your contributions.  Personally, I think you've already given more than enough to the community by sharing your art alone.  Any comments you provide are just icing on the cake.

Ok, if I may, let me start off with a concession to the fact
that I may have been a tad bit strident in my admonishingly
expressive vein. & for that, as a man of respect, honor, &
self-awareness where it is irrefutably merited, I can sincerely
offer you my most profound of apologies. Albeit, I will remain
steadfast on my conviction, in the belief that I did have
perfectly rational reasons & hence clear possibilities--for be it either me, or anyone else for that matter ( who greatly believe
in the value that virtues like humility, & due respect &
gratitude amongst/for at least those who are kind enough to
bequeath us with their invaluable admiration &/or well-wishes,
hold )-- to given when the circumstances had not been made
clear or were simply utterly unknown as to the actual tenure
you purport, & even further viable in order to weave up as more than
potential motives to react in a non benevolent manner, when
contrasting with other executants who range in the same or even higher
spheres in these or any fields for that matter, & the latter
subjects resulting at least in verifiable apparentness,as  
diametrically distinct in their characters...well yes,
conjecture the way I did, or in similar sentimental fashions.

In other words, I simply reacted according to how a range of
very highly probable data/criteria adduced to me, seemed as, due to your actions, BEFORE a perfectly valid explication for them had been offered. & no, not because I felt like I personally deserved that explication, did I expound the way I did; but rather because I know that it SURELY must
be or has been, as it is or has been for me, that many people have felt when coming across
people who they respect or admire over a technical prowess, but
feel they can't feel the same for their Human Values, due to
the destitution of clarity in the possible whys of their lack
of reciprocal engagement,or even minimal respect for their
adulation...& thus I felt it was not fair for them either, to remain without a reason for such natures.

Needless to say, I never expected nor would I do so,
for you or any other artist of clearly grand calibers, to
respond to every single comment or question presented to
you...as that would be a large task that undoubtedly can take
up much of your understandably scarce & precious production time. & which   is why posited the questionatively dual option of: ''personally/& or
collectively answer?'', in my previous comment. But I do understand very 
well, that while not everything one would want can be accomplished, obviously, there are nonetheless means or modalities to make it known without such a tumultuous effort, that one is grateful for people's respect. & that is all that I was ''lawyering'' for, if you will. But any who, my apologies if I may have come off as excessively vitriolic, or as if with my injunction, trying to alienate your fans. Please just understand that I merely wanted with my narrative, to strike up another metric of evaluation in people, besides one that is solely predicated on an individual's(or group of them) technical skill-sets, & thus one that includes overall Universal values & principles that I think most can agree on, in terms of the importance &/or significance in a Human being, regardless of his/her profession,or their adeptness in it.

But any who, I likewise wish both you & your works, the best states of affairs & emplacements.

yukim4ru  : I disagree with you. I see it as unnecessary fluff - the kind of fluff that lawyers like to use (sometimes for good reasons). That is my opinion, of course, which Albert is going to be very glad to point out.

Regardless of that, the grammar is horrible. The sentences are extremely long, and there are mistakes all over the place. The usage of complex vocabulary makes it *look* good, but vocabulary isn't everything.

In my opinion, such responses are completely unnecessary, and are an utter waste of time for anyone to read or try to understand.

Have a "highly optimal day", as Albert would say!

I agree It took a great deal of effort and confusion to read the comment.... it would be a lot more effective to just sum it up in a couple of sentences IMO.

As I said, I'm not a native speaker -and even though I'm aware of it- I become easily impressed by any wordy manner of speech that filled with seemingly sophisticated and long sentences. That being said, I'm not the best judge of language, as far as complex English is concerned. It's just that these things somehow cater to me, probably because I wish I could write like that.

I agree. I just liked the ridiculous fact that someone would spend so much time typing a gigantic argument on a computer. It's kind of amazing XD

Have a highly optimal day as well ^__^

Well thanks, but I don't consider myself anything near great as far as how I write, or anything else really, for that matter. I simply try to be IMO, as clear as possible with what's within my wherewithal on any frontier I may find myself interlaced or linked to.

I don't want to take Charles Jeong's side, okay? But I have seen him replying and showing gratitude to people. Everyone has their own affairs, and I bet he is busy and all that. I've been a follower in FB for months, and he doesn't post that much, unless he has a new painting,  or he has something worth mentioning... And by the way, I don't think it's right to lash your anger in his territory, tbh.

Peace.

STAYIN-TRIPPED-ART In reply to allyssadraws [2014-04-28 14:45:22 +0000 UTC]

With all due respect, & a clear understanding of your intentions, well IMO this isn't really about ''taking sides''. It is simply about being clear, objective, & fair-minded, while on a search for the truth about any matters it be.

 Mr. Joongwon has stated his reasons for his  actions, or lack of them for that matter, you have reinforced those reasons with your testimony, & I have fully aknowledged the reasonableness they embed, & ergo have duly apologized for what I have considered a factual but nonetheless admissible deviance from my reactionary ethos.

 Also , likewise with all due respect, well what you may interpret as ''lashing out my anger'', quite frankly, I consider that to be entirely YOUR subjective opinion, & which you are perfectly & justly entitled to...but that is all. I say this, because you really have absolutely no idea what it is like, when I am in that state, & therefore I consider you to not have that much of a right to just bluntly assume that I was in it, over a comment that simply stated a POV, once having been supported by very acceptable criteria, for its existence to come about. & especially do I not accept without stating my reasons for such rejection, when the truth of the matter, is that I was  merely inconformed, incomoded, & naturally irritated over the lack of a proper explanation as to Mr.Joongwon's eventuations...but not at all angered nor enraged. Also , the term ''territory'', I find it to be an unnecessary one, given we are not Wildlife animals nor tribal beings in some territorial disputes, or provincial quarrels over ''rights'' to voice our opinions.

This is in fact, an open forum, & therefore if one has a query or complaint, & moreover has reasonable claims or arguments to support it & set it forth, well unless the subjects in question have a problem to the degree that it causes either one or both to resort to blocking or denouncing each other over a disquisition, well I thus see no reason to not express freely whatever it is we may think, so long as our discourse still remain within the fringes of sanity or respect. As you have done so, by the way, & which is a great thing.

Peace.

Congratulations. You have freely exercised your right to elicit a relative opinion, which has quite possibly brought you some sense of realization &/or transcendence; & thus you should most likely feel a substantial deal of gleefulness, because I doubt that it be misery... but I honestly really can't fully know for sure what it be, as I'm not you. But regardless of what you have obtained, have a great day now.
