WJL once bubbled...
So, you will let us complain if we use circumlocutions and indirect criticisms, but we can't complain if we're too direct or confrontational?
You object to the style, but the substance is okay?
What point are you trying to make?
My example is much more specific and direct than a "Look at this marketing picture... this class and its agency suck!" Yeah, I've repeatedly said that I agree with most of the substance.
My point is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism. Between an accepting place of learning and a close-minded place of preaching. Between a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a harsh, critical one. It is believeing that this board should and could be a place that divers would want to ask open, honest questions and learn from the answers without fearing ridicule and derision.
I'm pulling out of this particular thread because I've accompllished one of my goals. I may start an independant thread, but I want to have a discussion with the proper people first.
