Oh, I so agree with this. It is annoying when you make an intentionally blurred icon to have a soft, dreamy mood to it and then they just tell you off. -.- It is even more annoying when people who don't even post icons or use photoshop comment like that.

What might an intentionally blurry icon look like? Just curious.

Those look pretty cool! I haven't seen very many like those.

I like the bur effect that the first one shows. Its very artsy.

Because lord knows it's not a good icon if it's not painfully pixellated. @_@

i've been known to blur my backgrounds, but not the whole icon.....

Why don't you just put in the post "some of these are blurry, it's supposed to be like that"? That way, you actually have a reason to tell those people to STFU. 'Cause how else are they supposed to know the blurring is intentional?

by the sharpness of my other icons...
I thought it was pretty obvious it was intentional...but i guess i was wrong.

What's obvious to you might not be obvious to others. Remember, they can't read minds. And if they can, it might be a little hard to do over the internet.

If I saw a blurry icon, my first thought wouldn't be "wow, I bet that's intentional!"
