There's a way to present criticism where it's harsh but doesn't sting. I don't think people here have mastered that. Not that I have, either. I think people expect too much out of random pasta authors. They could be any age, IQ, or personality type. They could be writing their first pasta, or their first story ever (though, most people have to write some in school). They could be a total loon. My point is, you shouldn't expect there to be no negative reaction at all when you critique someone's work. It's kind of silly to think they'd respond positively every time. Even if they are submitting their work for scrutiny. Sometimes people don't realize what they're getting into.
