- Go to Learning To Accept Criticism Graciously
Um, I think you may have meant to leave this comment in my next post, Corbin.
Either way though, the answer is no (because I was just happy to get out of there alive).

Well, the important thing is that at least the message did not fall on deaf ears, Talion.

That is a great quote, Foliage ...
And, even from a very young age, I've always carried myself in such a manner.
Though primarily due to my own extremely inflated sense of superiority.

I learned this secret long ago. I smile graciuously, as if astounded by their startling insight while thinking the crude, misguided, SOB should go f*ck himself. It works every time.

Ah, here's my favourite quote by: Don Miguel Ruiz
Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Actually, I wouldn't know anything about that, Masky.
But, I must say, it sounds ghastly.

Oh, no, Rcky. Manon isn't Muslim. Plus has the traditional allotment of eyebrows.
I wouldn't even attempt to try to spell my neighbor's name.

I'd say the key, TAPS, is in not giving it any thought whatsoever before opening my mouth.

Madem...
I usually accept any kind of criticism with an open mind, because I appreciate people feeling comfortable enough with me to address such things. What I don't like...which has only happened with a handful of people...is when the criticism isn't criticism, but a personal vendetta! Ya know?

I can only accept criticism awkwardly with a big smile that is more than
obviously fake, and have to have a bracing comfort coffee for consolation after while brooding over how much better I am at the other stuff that didn't get noticed......
