Completely agree, sorry for very late reply. I haven't been on LJ in an age and am thinking of tipping a toe back in.
But yes, there's this whole strange competitiveness among writers of 'I can take the most vicious critique,' 'no I can, I can!'. It's really strange. There is a way to nicely phrase suggestions/criticism and wanting ones like this (or writing them) doesn't make you weak - it is simply a lot more encouraging if you feel like you are getting stuff right as well as wrong along the way.
