Actually - that is not quite.
Format and layout in magazines, newspapers, a great deal of computer software and websites usually follow fairly standardised rules of mass consumption. They don’t preclude originality - in fact they will invite it to an extent, but if you read any books about good website design for instance, you’ll find that the main thrust is clear, concise design that is easy to follow while also being attractive.
Horizontal scrolling is a “different” idea, but it fails to take advantage of the scroll wheel on the mouse for very easy continuous reading. These days that kind of move is usually a mistake. Additionally, you are forcing the audience to operate the site in a completely different way to how they operate every single site they go to. And although this might be original and an interesting idea itself, that doesn’t mean it equates to good website design.
The reason you were probably pounced on wasn’t because you were telling the truth in your eyes, but because you chose such an offensive, ill-considered way of expressing it. That’s also probably why your examples of good webdesign were probably ripped apart like that. Funny how you seemed to take offence at people doing that after your initial remarks.
I don’t think a discussion about website design necessarily exposes people’s lack of understanding about art by the way. The two topics don’t necessarily align as much as you seem to think.
I don’t think this forum has a natural aversion to truth, but it does quite often have a strong reaction to rudeness. If you think the “fan” posts are a bit much, feel free to temper it with your Polish truth, just try and remain thoughtful and constructive in your approach.
I agree that you don’t see as much original art throughout this forum as you might elsewhere, but alot of people are still learning the skill of modelling, texturing and lighting here and the many reproductions of obvious real world objects are probably a reflection of that, just like painters might start by doing still lifes of flowers and bowls of fruit.
Now whether you can read this post and come to any understanding about it may depend on whether you can see the strangeness of opening your presence in this forum with a comment like: “dude, this page sux, I don’t see any use of css there scept for the scrollbar, the composition of the site is boring, the logo is laso boring, the typo sux as well” and then referring to any retaliation on you as not decent.
