As long as people give an honest, constructive opinion that is not rudely put, I think things should be acceptable.One can accept or disregard suggestions. However, if we live in an 'echo chamber' and only hear what we want to hear all of the time, we cannot look at things in objective ways. The best criticism I got from a quilting teacher/judge was followed up by constructive criticism about how she thought my quilts could be improved and it was well warranted even though they were fairly nice quilts.I continue to improve because of this.
