I see we've already had a couple of these types of threads since the critque group started. I knew they were coming, and it is unfortunate that A. Some people will have difficulty accepting negative comments without defensiveness when they have been subjected to sycophants for months/years. Not everyone will be good at critique, especially at first, so sometimes you have to just ignore the stuff that is not useful without getting defensive. Ask yourself if wading through some perhaps less than useful advice is worth it for that occasional nugget of gold. Some will think so, some not. B. Some idiots will resent the Critique Group, and will spew crap out of spite. That they are sending their spew via site mail rather than adding comments shows that they are not worth a second thought. If the mail is abusive, alert the mods and have it taken care of. Propschick, I saw the comment you reference. I think maybe the person just didn't know what your reference to paper dolls meant. I have no idea what it means, as I don't know all the products people use.
