The point of the criticism is that it's meant to be constructive. We mean to give advice, not to rip apart the fabric of what's there. You should try to consider that before jumping in and critisising us. Like with the alcohol threat, you make it sound like we're promoting drug use....
Huh? What's going on here?
"You talking' to me?"
First: I didn't criticize nobody for criticizing. Nowhere. I explicitly said that it's part of the game.
Second: All I wanted to do was to encourage t.A.T.u. who (it seemed) had broken off her efforts to go on.
Third: I wasn't sarcastic when I wrote that people who think they could equally or better write that kind of stuff should step forward, I was honest. I just wanted to encourage what ioana had in mind when she started this topic: A friendly competition. (I agree with everything Nicolas said about that.)
Fourth: About one third of my posts in this forum are criticisms (fair and encouraging criticisms, I hope) of the work of other people, while another third consist of repeated invitations to criticize my own work on FA. The phrase that I love to receive, that I *depend* on criticism, is something like a constant refrain in these posts. (The thread is a bit outdated at the moment, but it's still there.) To my mind, there should be more criticism, more discussion in this forum, not less! So there's no need to teach me about what criticism is and why it's a good thing.
Fifth: I have no idea which post in the alcohol thread you refer to, but it's obviously not mine. I accused nobody nowhere ever of promoting drug use, I promote it myself whenever I feel like it.
