Why do people mistake attacking and bashing your page for constructive criticism?

I believe it's all about the tone and how to write a proper constructive critic of a page. If I see something the author missed out and should be rectified then I tend to write to the person directly instead of leaving a comment. It avoids embarrassments on both sides.

I don't think people mistake the way they criticise, they basically don't have subtlety and manners; usually they're also slightly conceited and don't take any notice of other people's feelings. MsNancy I would just ignore them and moderate all comments to avoid giving them satisfaction.

Stampwithfab put it best when he says that the problem is rooted in conceit. Yes! People are just too harsh in their criticism.

They want to show how much they know! They want to show how "right" they are and how "wrong" you are. It's cute!

Just kidding. But hey, the world is made up of all types. I just take what I need and throw the rest into the sea of forgetfulness:) It's not personal.

They have a point to prove.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
