I'm glad I don't do reviews ;) “I don’t think we should exercise our right to be livid over such inanities as fashion week” Touché!

The whole point about this post is defusing the rage, not spreading it around. Getting livid just results in screeching (which was mentioned in the comments of the other post.) I'm really thrilled with the level of comments on this post (and so far I haven't had to exercise my right to moderate - and none of them are anonymous) which I think proves something - that a negative opinion can be expressed without provoking flames. I have a theory about why crap comments are tolerated on news sites. Its because flamewars drive traffic. Rotten traffic, but for an online editor there's no metric to measure the quality of readers. I think this has the tendency to encourage writers to go "flamewhore" and for editors to reward writers for making people angry. The effect is that the online content for news sites begins to reflect the quality of the comments. Just a theory. In Toronto, blogTO.com is being sued by a local business for a reader comment. I'm hopeful that this will set a precedent for news sites to figure out a way to raise the level of discourse on their websites.

Before the internet that would have been a career killer but I doubt she will even get a slap on the wrist by her editor. Obviously when you are writing reviews you are supposed to put opinions in it, but calling a designer arrogant (" The arrogance in presuming that we will all skip drinks with our real-life friends to watch a parade of purple lace take place — at a supper club — is appalling.") is really extremely unprofessional. You don't like it, don't go. She's not arrogant, you have no idea what led to that decision. Plus the title of the article "Saint Lucian" and then she goes on for almost two full computer screens bitching makes you begin to believe it is going to cumulate into a derogatory post about Lucian Matis with the title only being sarcastic. If I were him I would be extremely embarrassed to have had her childish wailings attached to my name. holy frick’n crap…you have every right to be livid about that post, I sure am.

The thing that separates the good people from the real bitches is a sense of conscience. If you feel bad about your mistakes - its a very good thing. A sincere apology goes a long way. I wouldn't have been able to write this post if I hadn't made the same mistake myself. I apologized for it, I learned something from it, I gained a sense of empathy and I even got another chance to do a better job. Its all part of the process of learning how to be a better human being. I think whether we are designers, journalists, bloggers, and simply colleagues and peers, that's what we're all striving for, right? (Except for real bitches who I guess believe they're already perfect.) We can help eachother improve by being forgiving and mindful of eachother's weaknesses and strengths.
