some good points gagnonrich

"When an artist puts something in their gallery, I think they're putting something there that they're happy with and I don't feel it's my job to poke holes in their dreams"

personally i have never made a comment in anyones personal gallery. or on any of the gallery pages. though i've had a few giggles.  i would hate to destroy someones dream or ego in such a callous way.  i have made comment when they have been asked for though and found to my surprise as miss nancy pointed out that many who actually ask for crit comment or feedback don't realy want it. they simply want their ego's stroking. after seeing some of the comments and artwork in some of the more voiciferous galleries of this thread (i checked them out as well lol) i have to agree with her.  that said i do think some take what they can from decent feedback without resorting to an attack of the person leaving the feedback. dp to name one to a crit and responded with aplomb.
