polite and private is always the way any criticism should be handled...yelling at anyone in a crowded park is just plain rude and out of line, and to tramatize a child.....and people wonder why i'm such an antisocial recluse (what my family calls me, i go to work and go home...and like it that way, getting out and about is not a norm for me)
i have seen things and talked to quilters about things but i've always taken them aside if it was anything that may be construed as criticism i've always tried to spare peoples feelings and can not imagine what these people may be like and a regular basis...seems like pretty unhappy people. and this one who attacked my granddaughter...i think she was drunk..or something...but i have a hard time forgiving anyone who uses that as an excuse for bad behavior
