My error this morning - placed this under the wrong thread.  It belongs here:
Blogging?  Yes, the perfect form for most of the pieces posted in the Gallery.  Blogs, from what little I've seen, are personal reactions to the world.  RE-Actions.

But I digress.  Renderosity, in my opinion, has evolved into a house of claques.  I praise you, you praise me = gush.  Not good.  Claques don't think, they RE-Act.

Writers need original and objective critiques of their work.  Claques drown out chances for valuable critiques.

And, Dear Friends, that is why many writers have left.
