Do you know what would be insulting? Let me show you what would be insulting.

"RadiantMiku - Grave misreading of words, omitted subjects and objects, attributive form, positive and negative phrases, particles and transitive/intransitive verbs."

This is not insulting. He pointed out the mistakes this person is doing, so she can improve, study more in this parts. As they know what is wrong, they can improve on this factors and get better. Insulting would be if it was something like this:

"RadiantMiku - Does not know how to translate, grammar errors are everywhere, nothing they do makes sense, one of the worst translators of all indeed. Should stop translating."

That would be insulting. But no, Damesuke didn't use verbiage, didn't said they are terrible, should stop translating, he simply said they are not reccommendable because there are mistakes in their translations.

Me, as an example. I am Brazilian, so my native language  is Portuguese. In this comment, I'm sure there's at least two, three, four grammar mistakes I didn't saw because I am not aware of what I am doing wrong. I know there are mistakes but I don't know  how to fix it. Most of time people don't correct me, but when they do I get happy because next time I know it'll be correct and people will understand better. As example, I'm not sure when I am supposed to use "has" or "have". It happens to me often.

Back to the blog, Damesuke pointed out WHERE is wrong. If he didn't, it wouldn't help, would it? They are in the unrecommendable list, but why? So he pointed the mistakes out, and the translators can check their translations and know where they are wrong.
