"If you can't say somthin' nice ... don't say nothin' at all" Sometimes I listen to a piece that I don't love, and rather than post negative comments, I decline to post any remark. I have no problems calling a "spade a spade." Normally I'll just call it as I see it. No matter what profession you're in, you generally don't grow without feedback in some form. (but that's assuming you're looking to "grow") The old saying: "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." I'd like to hear some more comments on WHY people DON'T post negative but helpful remarks on posted music. If you're a true friend, that's what you do. I'll start it off. When something is really worth complimenting (like a lot of the stuff that members like Paul (Montunoman) , Don Mason, etc. do I have no hesitation in giving accolades. But, the reason I, myself, DON'T make remarks on questionable music posts is because, in the Synthzone, it's the quickest way to circumvent the original book on "How to Win Friends and Influence People” and become prey to the book "How To Lose Friends and Infuriate People!"

I suppose the reason I don't criticize is I "accentuate the positive", trying to encourage people to keep at it. I have weak and strong areas, and am acutely aware of the former. OOH, if someone asks for critical feedback for improvement in a certain area, that is different. However, I think the biggest deterrent to posting music by most ,is being shot down, whereas applauding(sincerely) the strong points encourages further participation. Telling it like it is, according to their own opinion, should be used very judiciously.
