Re: Sermil and the Banter of Randomness: Random Banter #228
That's... not a very nice thing to do.
Eh, it's complex. Giving critique is a skill, and if you think you've put a lot of effort into something criticism can hurt. And it doesn't help that the amount of effort you put into something is completely unrelated to how good it is, and too much can actually harm it.
While I don't agree with it there's a view that any negative comments should be sandwiched between positive comments. My personal view is to give suggestions for improvement alongside critique, in an attempt to kindle a desire for improvement, but it's debatable I'd they works at all.
Just saying, the problem could lie as much with you not saying it right as it does them taking it poorly

The sandwiching thing works alot better when combined with other ways to soften the blow like showing sincerity and using other things.

Re: Sermil and the Banter of Randomness: Random Banter #228
But there are appropriate and inappropriate ways to say something is bad.
Telling your friend "here's what I think doesn't work, and some ideas that might make it work better." Is constructive criticism.
Just calling the movie bad, or criticizing bits of it without actually offering any sort of fix, or back and forth, verges on being a bully. As an example, I'd sure be a big old jerk if I went into every movie review you did and just called it bad, wouldn't I?
And lastly, if somebody isn't looking for criticism, don't give it. Sometimes people don't want their stuff to be criticized, and that's their right. Sometimes people just want to share a thing they made and have a bit of joy in having created it.Last edited by Mystic Muse; 2020-07-20 at 04:04 PM.

I've lost count, a lot of times we asked for development on ideas or elaboration. I remember you seemed to get offended when I didn't think an RPG quiz show would work and wanted more explanation on how it would work (I'm not sure if I ever did get more explanation, it was a while ago).

Then I'll be frank, you've received a lot of honest, good-hearted criticism on this site, and you often react very defensively to it.

Ah. Maybe we should use another example, then.

Re: Sermil and the Banter of Randomness: Random Banter #228
Good one. For example:
Yes. That is true. One time, on this forum, I made a horribly honest (?) review of a Marvel movie which I really dislike. It was so horrible that many forum members were carrying pitchforks and torches to chase me out of town. The movie was Avengers: Infinity War.
Yes, well I remember it vividly: many forum members disliked my review of Avengers: Infinity War and one of the moderators had to lock it down.Forum Wisdom
