it was not an issue of validity. everything is valid. whatever resposnse is evoked. and i agree that your response is probably more valid than most. i make no judgments on harshness. i welcome it. when i do something that stinks, which is plenty, i want to hear it stinks, and why.. when i do something good, there is nothing sweeter than hearing utter silence from a critic (like my wife hahahaha that philistineatrix)
i merely noted it was harsh. not harsh. harsh is a harsh word. authoritative. that is a better word.
it was nice of you to apologize to nikolai. that shows great character. . you dont ever have to apologize to me, though. in fact, i am going to post hoping you shred it. that's why im here. if we were here for ego stroking and noodle slalad, i'd think we were wasting our time. like any of us is good enough to not hear criticism.
i like your style. i just wanted to point out the possibility that you might be slightly wrong, keep you a bit humble.
later
