First off, I'd like if you'd be more polite. Your attitude isn't helping me see eye to eye with you very much.
"It's the artist's work, and you are trying to give yourself attention and "recognition" for it."
Not true. I'm giving myself (and whoever else helped) credentials for translating, redrawing, and/or typesetting the work. Please show where I've EVER claimed the work itself is mine.
"You say you like giving to others, but you'll also refuse to do so if you can't get credit for it. So, you clearly don't and are contradicting yourself"
Not true. I've submitted works here before and with my scanlation group without my name on it. Look at the magireco submission and my own submissions as evidence of this. (After writing this I've realised that we have got a credit page for magireco, however this was without my knowledge. My point stands).
And wanting recognition is not contradicting also wanting to provide content. Following your logic, every single one of the doujins uploaded on this site is just attention whoring. Go annoy them too if you feel that way.
"Also, I know for a fact you didn't do anything of Isora's. Because it was all translated as soon as it was released. Unless, you did it badly after the fact, like you did with this upload here. Where did you even find the over cropped version of the image?"
Wrong yet again. I've had my own versions completed for over a month but recently removed them from my Tumblr due to isora not wanting their work posted on other sites. Doing it "after the fact" does not mean I myself didn't do it. I got the raw and translation, just like everybody else.
"Water marking the middle of the page is obnoxious and ruins the image itself, because then it becomes an advertisement rather than a work of art."
I do agree with this. Originally the images were separate, and when stitching them I forgot to move the watermark. As said earlier, I realise I made this one too visible. Other ones are much more subdued to the point where you can't see them unless you tilt the screen.
Watermarking being bad in general? Too bad, I'm tired of people using my work without sourcing it. It takes all of 10 seconds to find out where it came from and if I can source all of my work, so can everyone else.
Again, you did a fantastic job, but it's clear we don't (or won't) agree on this. I don't care if you start "redoing" my work in the future out of spite, or something else, because if it comes out better, it's a net gain for everyone else. I'll keep doing my thing.
You're welcome to respond to this, but I won't be reading it, as I've made my position clear.
