What a shame. If I just want kudos, I ask a non-quilting friend. They usually don't know the difference & will tell me how beautiful my work is even if it's uneven, wavy or lacks complementary colors. My experience here is that people are kind but honest. I wouldn't want posters telling someone their quilt is a piece of garbage, but I haven't seen that anyways. Usually posters give specific advice & guidance, and then only when asked (e.g., not when someone posts a pic announcing they finished the quilt). I hope that can continue in spite of a few people taking constructive advice the wrong way.
