Many people only give criticizing answers on YA, especially on R&S. Criticizing is good, but there is a difference between having a critical mind and having a criticizing mind.
We can go nowhere without having opposite opinions, but opinions that focus on side issues or that ar just a bit too tangential to the core of the Q don´t help.
I have found that most criticizing minds don´t ask Qs, they just answer and usually sail under Groucho´s "whatever it is I´m against it" flag.
Others identify the core and erode the pillars with jeers, dubious facts, sacred verses or outrage.
There are fanatics that report anything they judge dangerous, not necessarily offensive.
All in all, it´s a true representation of the state of society, with bullies, do-gooders, hypocrites, intellectuals, loonies, self righteous, scholars and ignorants...
I weep at the state of the world. YA demonstrates that wisdom has fled our world and I wonder if I´ll see it back in my lifetime.
Your thoughts whoever you are?
