Reply to comment by CheliceraeJones in One Final Look at The Incoming Snow & Wind by TheCloudBoy

  1. It's completely fair to explain right off the top that there's a host of junk being shot around, especially given I don't want to have to answer 5 questions that ask "why does yours have 6"+ more/less than "x" station's map".
  2. I'd want someone to openly destroy my map if it looked like flaming garbage, had noticeable inaccuracies, and I was being paid lots of money to provide better forecasts. It's irrefutable that what's circulating today is lazily drawn, the public deserves better and that's in part why I do this. Just one example: I've seen three different forecasts show 8"+ for the central Monadnock Region. That's lazy.

An important maxim of professionalism: you don't insult your fellow professionals or their work. You offer criticism, but you do so with respect.

This is Reddit. My critique above is within the normal bounds of what a) I usually give and b) what others in my field typically do. The forecasts circulating are lazily drawn and need to look better, period. End of story. I'm here to provide useful weather info, not get into arguments on the degree of professionalism I should adhere to on Reddit, sorry.

10000% correct. And fuck you fools for nitpicking cloudboy. I appreciate his efforts and he doesn’t need some fuckers criticizing him. You wanna be professional go to LinkedIn.

Fellow professionals is one way of putting it, competitors is another. Plenty of companies model on how they are better. What are you on about?

This 1,000%, go look at any website and/or advertisement from a big company. Watch a car company ad, that's probably the most obvious & readily accessible example!
