i try to evaluate all criticism with an open mind.
i have learned a tremendous amount from people who knew more about a certain area than myself and were courageous and caring enough to offer advice. i can think of several instances where this actually translated into $ for me -- so i would always welcome constructive criticism which can help me to do or be or know better.
that having been said, there have been posters on this forum who called me idiotic or brainless without further elaboration. that kind of criticism seems pointless to me. the intent, then, seems to be questionable and i really can't see what it accomplishes except to generate ill-will. when that has happened i have tried to "consider the source". since i don't profit in any way from that kind of bashing i try to avoid it and those posters as much as possible. who needs it??
