| User | splifford | | Topic | sugar coat | | Message | are we suppost to sugar coat our comments. if u think my stuff sucks i want to b told about it.
but i found myself in a place that said: I’m getting horrible quality comments!
One thing you could do is send the person who gave crappy comments a note telling them to try the comment guidelines page.
etc.
is it wrong to tell some of the ppl here that their stuff sucks. to be honest i find that there’s like a 90:10 of crap and good
i get comments that are i don’t understand the part of the poem that made it a poem, but it was a great write "keep up the good work" |

| User | Rain | 2005-12-05 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i agree there is a fine line on what you should be doing in your critiques. you don’t have to lie, and you really don’t have to sugar coat it really. just when you don’t like something and it needs help don’t be a dick about it. |
| User | inspirit999 | 2005-12-04 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | critique: French term to criticize/analyze or review.
ok there is a difference between outright lying saying "this is the greatest" and sugar coating saying "this is good but i think maybe you can do it this way." the meaning sugar coat means that something a person will not like that has to be sweetened to make it more palatable. now do i think it is wrong? no not at all some people cannot handle criticisms that will tear into something when following the by definition of critique. i do agree that a person who provides the why (which is often the hardest to procure) along with the what, i think someone who critiques well.

| User | MyX | 2005-10-19 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I don’t think anyone should seek the help of someone named splifford, let along all the antics you dump around here.
I’d rather bob for apples in a toilet than recieve a comment from you.

You are so egotistical and care way too much about your image, or else you wouldn’t repaste my comments and be such a jerk. Your roxy poem has a lot of holes in it, but I won’t try to help anymore.

| User | Poeticprincess | 2005-10-08 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | to me just tell it like it is if you think my poem sucks tell me why don’t tell me that it’s the best poem you’ve ever read i hate being lied to . |
| User | mae | 2005-10-08 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | You shouldn’t "sugar coat" by telling someone that what they’ve written is good if it isn’t, but there are always kind ways of saying something that would be hard to hear. First, just saying something ’sucks’ is not constructive criticism - it’s just criticism. Why not tell the writer what you don’t like and why? I don’t think "horrible quality comments’ means telling someone that their poem is bad - it means the comment is of horrible quality (not the poem) - sort of like telling someone that the poetry ’sucks’. mae |
| User | misty_of_moon | 2005-10-06 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | yeah i get soem of those too but any news is good news and no news is bad news, at least people read it, that’s all i want. it’s not about the comments with me (though they add to the experience) i just want to be able to shar with other people my thoughts dreams and failures. i don’t sugar coat anything...if they don’t like it then change it and make it better that’s all. |
