I've been trying to think of how to phrase this since I first saw this post a couple days ago. Basically, "sensitive artists" who can't learn to handle or deal with negative comments on their work never survive art school. You think random trolls at Renderosity are bad, you should try standing in front of a room full of people having an instructor rip your work absolutely to shreds... Furthermore, as a working artist you have to be prepared to take negative feedback and deal with it. Try telling a client or employer that they should be "nicer" when discussing the work they're paying you to do. In a nutshell, people who can't learn to deal with stuff like that shouldn't turn on comments. This kind of "everybody has to be nice" attitude is the reason why you only rarely get actual constructive feedback on any images at Renderosity.... bonni
