Well, obviously you took what I said to heart and I didn't mean to offend you as I obviously did. To be honest, I felt like you went above and beyond to dissect his work. There's constructive critism, and there's being rude. I felt that you were the latter. That doesn't mean I'm attacking you as a person, by all means say what you wish. And by me pointing out that I fear posting my work for fear of getting feedback like that, who wants to hear that someone didn't like their work? I know it's unrealistic to find a fan in every reader, but that doesn't make wishing it not to happen wrong. That doesn't mean ego trip, it means being human. I can take constructive critism, but ending with the thought of "Well dude, rather than write this, why didn't you just write a suicide note?" Nice. That's not critism, that's insult. I apologize for offending you. And quite honestly if you always word your responses for work that you don't "agree with" this way, I really don't mind that you don't offer your opinion on my work in the future.

So, as once said by someone, "My opinion is the only one I have to offer. Capiche?"

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
