so does every poem come with an aura of otherness which we ought to respect.
The same can be said for every critic. We comment in our styles, thankfully. Some of my greatest awakenings came from 'unfriendly' crits.
And one of the comments that bothers me the most on this site goes like this; "I didn't mind the crit, I minded how it was said." I think that's self deception.
Get over how you want people to present themselves and learn from what they're offering.
I don't think it's the moderators' job to make sure all the crits are nice and supportive.
If you feel someone was too rough, then follow up with a more positve crit.
Thanks, Dee
