I'm all for leaving comments in comment box.
Pm'ing people "You know well" is ok.
Taking criticism is hard..hard for EVERYONE..
I won't argue the point..it's fact.
Experience here tells me when PM'ing someone new with a critique..even a happy jolly I am there for ya buddy critique,
can often, very often result in a return flame PM.
Our experienced choppers are no good example for this.
several out of the last seven contest winners are people I offered a friendly PM critique to, because they had made obvious small mistakes that could be readily fixed...all but one
returned very indignant, egotistical rants, and the one other
just stated as how they don't appreciate critiques, thank you anyway.
In comments, they have reason to control their behavior since it may effect voting.
If you want critiques..specify it on yer post. Specify if you prefer PM,but don't...plese, don't flip out when you get your feelings hurt..
critiques hurt,they are often upsetting and if you
are automatically gonna flip if it does not contain at least thirty smileys..warn people ahead of time.
