I think that most creators feel similarly. Each creation contains a part of your self, your soul. It is a precious child of its creator. We welcome honest feedback but some boorish, rude or insensitive people don't seem to realise the impact of their criticisms, the intimate nature of creation. "Your child is fucking ugly. I hate it." I make critical remarks, which may be hurtful - "Hairs too long in my opinion", "Tell him to smile at the camera. I like his smiles not his sour faces.".

Yeah, I struggle with some of the O.P.P. (Other People’s Pinions). Much of it is unnecessary. On YouTube, I’ve decided to “hold all” except those I trust to comment responsibly. Things were getting out of hand, so gotta do what we gotta do, right? I think some folk just like to see their name in comments section, whether they have anything to add or not. I blame social media for all the bad behavior. And good parenting for the good behavior…which luckily far more of. Cheers, Ray!
