I think the forum would be better if people didn’t get hit so hard by negative feedback, or by people not liking what they have to say. I don’t know how to fix this with a post, but at least arguing the case might have some value.
I think the forum would be even better if people were much kinder and empathic when giving negative feedback. (I think we used to be better at this?) I find it very difficult to not get hit hard by negative feedback that’s delivered in a way that makes it clear they’re angry with me as a person; I find it relatively easy to not get upset when I feel like they’re not being adversarial. I also find it much easier to learn how to communicate negative feedback in a more considerate way than to learn how to not take things personally. I suspect both of these things are pretty common and so arguing the case for being nicer to each other is more tractable?
