And then there are the people who quite honestly want to have their work critiqued by more experienced people. How many times have I read "Please be honest and tell me what you think" and all the posts are so sugary sweet and positive. Why bother?
When I post something I WANT to hear the good with the bad. How am I every going to grow as a quilter if I don't hear what I can improve on?
I spent almost a full decade of my teaching career following the philosophy of the time of having to report to parents "Negative things in a positive way" and it made me sick. Tell it like it is!!
And if you want us to be sugary sweet in our postings say it in your post... "PLEASE be kind..." As for me? I want honest helpful comments.
