I'm really surprised that no one went for the obvious (and horribly predictable) irony of writing a horrible, unconstructive comment.
Perhaps the state of internet humour is getting better?
I can't believe it...
I take a Ad Design and New Media class (Graphic design basically), and we have to peer edit each other's work that's tacked to a big cork board. It's a small class so we all know who did what. At first we were kind of iffy about it, but after a while, we just became brutally honest with each other.
Criticism is a good thing, but only when you do it right. And it's always helpful to know what the hell you're talking about. I hate when people talk smack about things they don't even know about or understand. I love when people give me advice of how to make something look better, and that's all it should be. Help make something better, not tearing it completely apart and starting from nothing again.
