As you all know, I don't agree. I have watched critiques on this forum tear down one piece of material while in another thread speaking in glowing terms about their own material that has some of the same faults as the material that they are critiquing.

If a person is going to be a critic they should at least be impartial. Sadly, this is not the case. I find critics so full of themselves that they seldom actually come off as helpful. Each of us, as bonsai caretakers and artists, are on a different level. We should all have a measure of respect for the efforts of those below and above. I also have had to spend the night in prayer and contemplation before posting an answer to some of the things that have been said on this forum.

Last, if you want an opinion, you will ask for it and if you want help you will also ask for it. Unsolicited tree bashing by someone with a mouth full of words that sound good is of no help, but sadly a good discription of a critic.

UUGGH, I have become what I detest!!!! A CRITIC!!!!
