Okay, so some people might want that. But others like their sprites the way they are, even if they are distorted. With all respect to beginning spriters, I think they just need constructive criticism rather than something like, "I'll redo your sprites 'cause I don't like them." Perhaps you should have said, "If you don't like your sprite, just give it to me and I'll try and fix it up." It's a pretty good idea, but it seems a tad harsh.
And yes, I like to rant.
