Hey there! Saw your livejournal link through your twitter account. Thought I'd leave a comment here to say that I agree with what you're saying. Criticism is absolutely necessary. Sometimes, though, the kind of criticism also counts.
Still, when it comes to smaller issues of criticism across individuals and smaller organizations, I'm a big believer that negativity is best dealt with with positivity. Instead of tearing people down, I believe in building others up. You get criticized, use the publicity to bring attention to people that need it.
Any issue, individual, or organization big enough will have haters that cannot be satisfied with any response, of course. It's best to ignore those. Matching their strategy rarely works out, it just gives fuel for moderates to turn against you.
Here's hoping North Korea comes tumbling down in our lifetimes, as well. Prost.
Agreed.
