Thought for the Day

Though I hope I'll have at least one more, as it's early yet.

A lot of people think they want constructive criticism. Until they get it. Then they realize it's not a synonym for unthinking praise.

Everyone has an opinion, but it may not necessarily be accompanied by good manners.

I agree entirely. Unfortunately "good manners" are also in the eye of the beholder. :-) And of course this is not really specific to fandom. How we offer and handle criticism is an aspect of life as a whole (I don't mean to sound as if I'm informing you of this - of course you know it. I'm just sayin').

Say away ;) I just find it entirely unnecessary to be mean, and have resounding regret when I'm needled into a response that I later find to have been bordering on rude or hateful. That is a small admission to the fact that I am indeed capable of it.
