CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Simply fantastical!
Hm...not that I can think of, but I imagine if they did it would bother me. I take my writing seriously, and I don't think I'd like it if someone was insincere about it.
Did someone say something to you?? What was it??

You need to find some kinder readers! When people are just plain mean and unhelpful, no one benefits.

Well, one can be honest while still being kind...I have two kinds of critics, honest and sweet. The sweet ones tell me I'm spectacular, the honest ones tell me I suck. The honest one's just happen to have more credibility on em!

Yeah, but blatantly insulting comments disguised as constructive criticism aren't necessary.
PE, you need to find some kinder readers! Not ones that tell you you're amazing, but readers who tell you what you need to improve upon in a direct but tactful way. My family is great for this kind of criticism--they'll read what I write and point out strong areas and weak ones, tell me what I need to do to make the story stronger, and tell me what they like. Except for my sister; she always tells me that whatever I write is incredible.

I have a friend who always tells me that my work is amazing - and I think every writer should have one or two of those to keep their self-esteem up during editing and getting criticism; I know I need it.Yeah, but blatantly insulting comments disguised as constructive criticism aren't necessary.

I had a short story writing teacher once who made a lot of sarcastic comments on my papers, and I actually liked it. But are we talking about specific comments geared towards certain parts of a piece, or random sarcastic comments about your writing in general? It would make a difference.

I thought the issue was sarcasm versus sincerity. Personally, I feel sincerity, negative or positive, is always to be appreciated.

Hear hear! I'm totally willing to take harsh critisism (sp?) of my work. But when people mock it in anyway, it's really hard to take.
