How does one deal with secret squirrel flaming?
I refuse to put the poster on block.
Some people are very clever at disguising the flame under knowledge about a subject.
I resort to sarcasm- which is not helpful- but I do not know how else to deal with it. It really does make a thread crappy, but sometimes it is so unfair that some sort of response is needed. Then 'a history' between posters starts, and interferes wherever they post. ( I am including myself here)
To the subject- some while ago I started a deck and posted my images here.
I got very nice but unhelpful comments.
There were some glaring mistakes in quality and format.
No one critiqued the work. They praised it- which was very nice and flattering, but I wanted honest opinion on the work itself.
So I removed it and took the series to someone privately, who helped immensely.
So there is another side of the debate on critique.
