I am staying out of this one...but am making a very general statement.. (least that is my intention ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/biggrin.gif) ) pronouncements, objective thoughts, subjective thoughts, and absolutes. and this is as much FOR ME...and TO ME..... as it is to ANY of us.( so if the shoe fits)... Bobbie hit A nail on the head. PRONOUNCEMENTS........ I think WE ALL do it...I DO at times. forgive me..if i ramble..i'll try not to When we write words in typewritten fashion.. it is VERY hard to always know..what the writer intended. As human beings...we sometimes..read our own thoughts into a statement..based on OUR feelings we are having at the moment we are reading,..I am guilty of that.. ON the other hand..when our critiques come off as being ABSOLUTE PRONOUNCEMENTS.. again..(I have done the same thing at times)..leaving LITTLE or NO room for the majority of the readers to see any other way of doing something OTHER than the way the Critiquer/Commenter Suggests,...many times the Critiquer/Commenter comes off appearing as IT's MY WAY .(period) think we need to keep in mind...there are objective and subjective reasonings. does 1 + 1 = 2...yep....that's an absolute ( in my book, anyways). are there different ways to get to the grocery store? ...WE all see things differently and use SUBJECTIVE reasoning. I would think it would be some thing we'd want to keep in mind... that if we choose to use a pronouncement-style of commenting...to at least think how it comes across...and that's a CHOICE ONLY WE can make..every time...we comment. The above is in NO WAY advocating...a oh dang, what is that called Judy? got it,...Admiration Society...think we discussed on old board.... I really wished I could see as many things when i critique..as many of you do see..I 'm not at that point in my writing. Whatever we choose to say on this board... I think it comes down to..how we say it.. Now..i think i'll go delete a few of my own pronouncements.. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/biggrin.gif) kk ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif)

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
