Freak, you obviously are not an experienced artist, Poser or otherwise, as with experience comes exposure to critique. Honestly, if you want to ensure no negative comments, turn off the feature when you post your work, then that ensures your widdle feelings will be protected from any negative, even constructive, criticism. One tip, though, part of being an artist, and living in the art world is critique. In studying the history of art, one is able to not only understand a particular artist's work, vision and technique, but it lays a foundation for one's own work. Inherent in the study of art is critique. Some people, though, really are not artists in the true sense; they just whip out the Poser (or whatever), and click away at it, not understanding anything at all, and also not willing to learn. Getting indignant when you get less than glowing reviews (and my comment was very mild, compared to what I was really wanting to write), not only makes you look bad, but you cut yourself off from the opportunity to improve your work. Not everyone is going to like our work, and that's okay. But get a grip why don't you.
