God bless you Tony. That was a wonderful post.
I'm farily new to LUGNET, but not to the creative process, and in the above
passage there is an important lesson that any creative person (ie. everyone
on LUGNET) needs to learn. That lesson can be summed up as :critisism of the
creation is NOT critisism of the creator. It can be difficult to not take a
negative critique personally sometimes, but my impression of LUGNET so far
is that no-one would ever do so vindictively. All critisisms, 'good' or
'bad' are only intended to help. If someone says a model sucks, that doesn't
mean the builder sucks.
So, for me at least, when I show a MOC, give me a no holds barred critique.
Not only can I take it, I REQUIRE it. I want to be able to build like the
masters. Once I understand mech building better, I hope others can accept
the same from me.
Thanks for listening,
Allister
