When did constructive criticism turn to bashing? - Comments

1.Yea...cuz i suck
2.I have no clue
3.Yea:/

Issac Newton invented calculus.

1. I write slash, and since it's such a...rare (I suppose...) genre, people who enjoy it are more supportive. So I don't really get bashing.
2. It's absolutely useless.
3. I'm taking Algebra I, seeing as I'm only in the seventh grade.

1. I get a lot of reviews in the courses that I'm taking, which are different from some of these reviews I've gotten. One of my stories was reported for having improper format, actually. Which wasn't necessary, imo. If this person had just told me first, I would have fixed it.

2. Sir Isaac Newton, actually. It's pretty useful in engineering applications, at least from the standpoint of modelling a theory and applying it to real life.

3. Yes, I'm taking calculus and linear algebra. Only the first is kind of fun.

1. Yeah, of course. I mean, not seriously upset, but regaurdless of whether it's bashing, or honestly constructive, I view my writing as, and I hate to be melodramatic here, but a part of me. By putting it out there for people to read, I'm putting a little of me out there for people to read, so either way, for someone to say "eh, so and so and this and that wasn't doing it for me, maybe you should do a b and c to improve it" still hurts a little because no matter what, you want to put your best up and it's hard to hear that, perhaps, what you thought was your best, is not quite your best.
2. blah - I understand your pain. truly.
3. yup

1. No, because I feel like people point out the good and the bad in my work.
2. Whoever did is an evil, evil person, but I suppose it's got to be helpful if they're making us take it >__>
3. Yes, college level calculus for the second time (Calc I).

1. Occasionally. But I write because I like to write, not because I want reviews. If people like it, great. If they don't, no big deal.
2. Absolutely no idea, sorry.
3. Yep, Pre-Algebra, since I'm a young teenager and fairly decent at mathematics.

1. Frequently. I've had some pretty awful comments in my time, but I just try to focus on the better ones.
2. We take just one combined "maths" class here, but whoever did must be a very, very sad sad person.
3. Yep. I can drop it at the end of this year after my GCSE exams, and I can't wait already!

1. I do sometimes; it's hard to keep thinking 'who cares? I write for myself and no one else' sometimes.
2. I don't even know what calculus is...I don't even think we get taught it, I mean I'm in a high set for my Maths, and we haven't encountered that yet.
3. It's mandatory. Thank god we only get taught about stuff that's going to be in our summer exam and the exams next year. xD

1. Yes..sometimes..but I get over it, and dont get upset. I just ignore it.
2. I have no idea, I think whoever did, was named or had the last name: Calculus. I have no idea what it is used for.
3. Nope, thank god. I suck at math, I barely past Geomentry in High School.
