There is nothing pious about accepting criticism that is invalid. There is nothing egotistical about refuting criticism that is invalid.

But consideration should always be given to the logic in any words our ears might hear, or our eyes might read.

Ahhhhh I'm gona have to disagree on that one. If you are critisized...of course, you are gona stick up for yourself. (well in most cases anyways)

In my case...the "tone" was nothing but stating my name. I was just soooo wondering why out of all of us here, I would have been picked out. I figured it out now, lol.

And might I just add about the spelling/grammar issue? I SUCK at spelling. I type over 70wpm and I really don't give one crap if I mess up in spelling or grammer. I feel as if when someone BASHES someone due to this...it is they are a geek ass loser....and that is all they can come up with. Like if someone spells like shit they are stupid. Not the case. (or in my case anyways. )

My question is...those who bash mispellings...can you dance? IMHO if you can't , you suck. We all have our things we could do better at...in my case....(Note:I have not been bashed on this...yet I see it soooooooo often) I really don't care about my grammar. I don't care about my spelling. I suck . Period. At SPELLING that is.

Peace to you being bashed. I have nothing against any of you. (and you all be lucky hehehe)

This thread sucks. For everyone else. May the force be with you all. Always.

Problem with you Evilia is you definitely have an aggressive stance towards criticism.

Really, the people that care about you the most are the ones most likely to criticize you. Also, the people who most likely want to put you down are also the ones likely to criticize you.

But if you bunch all of those people together, you're relying on your own experiences and observations to improve yourself, which is far less efficient than a joint effort. You're alienating people who would actually aid your life, make it better, and improve it.

Which is your choice and right. You know this and I shouldn't have to say it. But I say it to compell you to read what I'm writing without thinking that I'm saying it to insult you or put you down. Perhaps it's my effort in helping you.

An important aspect of punctuation and spelling and some sort of structure of information presentation is the ability for the reader to digest it. The more erroneous your presentation is, the less likely someone else is to understand your point.

Therefore, it is irrefutable to conclude that if someone knowingly types fast, or uncaringly, and organizes their thoughts in hard to read manners, they are either not sophisticated enough to organize them properly (or don't recognize the importance of this) or they do not value the information they are providing.

It is undeniable that if you were writing out a legal document or a resume you would not miss-spell, and you'd check your writing and your punctuation thoroughly. Why? To make the other person think you care about communicating to them who and what you are.

Similarly, although this is far less important, the effect is the same here. If you do not put the simple effort of punctuation and spelling into what you write, those reading it will most definitely regard it with less importance... primarily because you do.

Again, it is your choice to fix the spelling or the punctuation. It is your choice to take the time to write out your post. If you do, people will read it and take you and your words more seriously. If you do not, people won't. It doesn't matter to the people, but if you're here and your purpose is to communicate, it should matter to you.

Hence, both of the points I've brought up here (in regards to criticism and methods of communication) are critiques that will help you, and you only if you take them into consideration. That fact alone should tell you that my purpose is not to help anyone here, or myself, or my ego or your ego. It is simply to provide information that may help you evolve certain aspects of your life, which will improve and help you, and you only.

Oh me goooodnessss!! Where do I begin? First off Decius....I thought you were cool. (another one I need to keep one eye open for now )

Aggressive stance towards criticism?? Look at all you've wrote. You either try to back your ass up against others, or put them down. Hmmmmm.

I don't need help. But thanks!! If I need it, I will TOTALLY keep you in mind and send you a private message. K? K.

Yes, I suck at punctuation, yet NOT presentation. Have you ever NOT gotton what ive said? Nope. I have never been bashed for anything regarding what I write, except for the fact of WHAT I write.

Lets not talk about someone being UNSOPHISTICATED. You don't know me. I don't care one fucken bit if you like how I type. I have boys. Three of them and I do NOT have the time to spell check all my crap. Hey...do you even HAVE a spell check here? Ummmmm. Hmmmmm. I'm gona keep THAT comment to myself.

About a legal docement? This isn't legal. And if it were.....I would PAY someone to do it, lol.

People care what other people think reguardless of their mispellings Decius. Read my quote in which I put what....two years ago on my sigi? Nothing has changed. I think your going through some type of hurtfullness in your life at the moment.

I shall pray for you.

And yes, I do believe in God.

Now go pick on someone else to make you feel better.

Don't you find it disconcerning that in light of someone politely offering you constructive criticism and not even that... but an explanation for why that criticism exists in a completely polite manner you react with:

1. "Oh me goooodnessss" - An attempt at sarcasm to demean?
2. "I thought you were cool" - An attempt to invalidate my comments because... I'm... no longer cool?
3. "I will TOTALLY keep you in mind" - Another attempt at egocentric sarcasm?
4. "I don't care one fucken bit if you like how I type." - False assumptions?
5. "I think your going through some type of hurtfullness in your life at the moment." - A defensive conclusion with little relevance or validity?

and finally...

6. "Now go pick on someone else to make you feel better." - The insecurity of being attacked?

Hehehehe. Lololol. I'm sorry if I might of "offended you" *blush* It's all good. I swear.

K, now to your response. WOW....you were WAITING to respond eh? Hey...so was I. Guess we both suck eh? ADMIT IT.

My OHHHHH MYGOODDDDDNESS. Is me. Got a problem with it? Good, you don't have to live with me so you should be happy.

No....about the "I thought you were cool." means exactally that. I THOUGHT you were cool. This site we are to express our feelings, intrests, concerns WITHOUT being judged. See you;.....being a "SITE ADMINISTRATOR" judging people on your site, is NOT COOL. Color me stupid if you MUST. But you are the one person who shouldn't judge under ANY circumstances. You are judging peoples personalities, their spelling/punctuation?? WTF?? Like I said before......you must be sad atm. If you need a hug.... heres one ((((hugg)))))

About me not caring if you like how/what I type? Look at your critizism. Bahahahaha.

And again I shall say to pick on someone else to make you feel better. Note: I am LAUGHING at you. If I was offended, I would tell you.

I'll be on for a little while more.....then I gota wake my baby up to feed him. Again...pick on someone else. Your not gona win.

And seriously? Quit cutting people up to make yourself look/feel better. Your the SAME as all of us.

Don't like it??? Bit me.

And yes, I am FO REAL.

I thought this was supposed to be " Constructive Criticism towards CC Members"?

This has turned into a bash you bash me thread.

My opinion to what constructive criticism is when you listen to what other people have to say about you and JUST LISTEN.

You are supposed to take in what these people are saying about you and think about if their thoughts are true or false. Having pointless rebuttals will not get you anywhere.

Quit fucking responding with useless sarcasm and stupid rebuttals. Just ask the person to why they think that you are like that. I bet they have a reason. And if they don't then their remarks are un-founded and do not apply to you.

So it looks like everyone here is unable to give/take criticism without giving/taking Constructive Criticism.


This thread was not locked with my previous post.

lol evilla u r quite adoring perhaps in a stuipid sort of way

ok regarding all this 'bashing'(lol!), really there are always two sides to a coin. You can offend the other person very easily, even withought you knowing it, so extreme care muct be taken, especially when you are giving advice to a person. Always rememebr that there is more than enough possibility that you are wrong, so be humble rather then thinking you can't be wrong.

hmmm, lol since I appear to be such a supposed advice giver, any critisizms that I could hear and sunsequently go cry in the bathroom as a result??

Aaah me...
Thank you's are not enough for the amazing things I have found along this thread!
I mean people used to go to the theatre for this kind of stuff, and its all here:
The beauty, the wisdom, the fools the bloodymindedness, and above all THE HUMANITY!!!

And so if I ever get depressed again, I will know where to come and get an injection of this kind of inspiration...

Sheeez, I honestly feel like giving you all a fucking standing ovation. I LOVE you all (even if some are mainly there just to highlight the others).

Anyway Decius, (and I hope you wont misunderstand me and take me for being a brown-noser) but I totally and absolutely adore your spirit. And yes your words do inspire even me to become more than myself,
so thanks...

And PS: yes I do realise this thread is a year old, but I'm just SO GLAD I found it . Its cheered me up no end!!!

Aah yes Restless Mind...

I must admit that in joining this forum, it has ignited a genuine wish that I could be young again! A bit sad, I know, but infinitely preferable to growing colder as one gets older.

I enjoy this site precisely because it enables me to interact with the young and beautiful mind/spirits out there. And it pleases me no end to know that any one of you beautiful mind/spirits might pass me by unnoticed (lets say in an airport or such like), and never want to talk to me. But here because I a lack physical presence, I feel on more or less equal territory.

For it is a sad (and boring cliche) that you do not feel any older on the inside, but the body no longer remains your closest ally as you age.

But on a very serious note, please never think of me as an old pervert when I reveal my hearts genuine Love. I truly am a great connoisseur of Beauty (which in its essence goes so much further than the physical). And though I may never in my whole life clap eyes on any of you, in my mind you are exceptionally beautiful!

PS: it is true that you don't post much, but when you do you sometimes reveal a dry wit which I appreciate. Also your chosen avatar suggests you are serious, and romantic, and not entirely unlike the poet Byron.
