Re: How critical should our model criticisms be?

In regards to personal attacks made on members via PM or in the open- it is completely unacceptable.
With that being said, I have to ask this (and my question pertains to those model reviews in which no individual or group of people were harangued)- do people really take bad model reviews personally? Are there members on here who feel that their self esteem is actually damaged by a bad model review?
I'm not trying to be a smart aleck by asking this question. But, the above highlighted comment really has me wondering if this is indeed the case...

I welcome any constructive criticism given during model reviews. I want to know everything I can about the models I have or plan to get. I have posted some comments that I think have helped to make some models more accurate and I like to learn from other members about the aircraft I collect (historical and technical information). This in the main reason I belong to this forum. I hope no one has stopped liking any of their models simply because of any constructive criticism it may have received! It has worked both ways for me. After learning about how good the CW Tomcats are on this forum, I have added four of them to my collection and now I need to unload all my DW Turkeys! Also, after learning about the inaccurate early DW Super Bugs, I bought the new and improved DW Super Hornets and am trying to sell the older ones. I welcome all the information given on this forum. Ignorance is not bliss for me!
