Before starting this topic so many things have been on my mind because I know how it pains for someone to criticise a write up or a post.
In a forum like this where so many intellects are contributing to a particular discussion there is always a room for criticism and the ability for you as newbie to absorb it as a learning process makes you unique and smart . For me Criticism is a process of learning because when ever I am been criticised I usually seize the opportunity to add more knowledge because I often see it as a corrective measures to widen my horizon .
Additionally, I will sincerely advice all the newbies who are quick to anger or discouraged when their post are been criticised to see it as a means of learning and not to react rudely because mistake brings correction .
Newbies are not always comfortable with criticism. But I do not blame them because there are some kinds of criticism that is not constructive. Those type of criticism weakens the moral of some newbies. Some of these criticisms which obviously was targeted at the post are often misunderstood by newbies that it is to their personalities.
Everyone has had those bad feelings but we were advised to develop some thick skins in order to survive in the forum. That is the best way to keep going in the forum.
