[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 632154, member: 812"] I understand your frustration, alsih. There's no call for rudeness towards people who are sharing their work with us. Maybe some people didn't consider that saying, "This work isn't worth the listed price," could be hurtful. Maybe they were really just trying to offer realistic criticism, and phrased it poorly. One thing I have learned from a million workshops, criticisms and readings: The only proper response to ANY feedback, no matter what it may be or how it may be presented, is "Thank you." Even someone who insults you or your work has at least taken the time to look at it and tell you what they think. They deserve your thanks. Arguing with them won't help. If you have to convince them it's better than they think -- it isn't. Listen to what they have to say, thank them, decide if you agree, and do what you need to do. Like kick them through a stack of drywall, the obnoxious Philistines. [/QUOTE]
