A tad perhaps.
What ever happened to critique? Page 21

Did he (or the Socks) write "Dead Poets Society"?
Do you know what, I doubt it

That's pretty much my impression, too, from reading the thread - the escalation in hostility came from her defence mechanisms kicking in. That sort of thing will always happen occasionally - hopefully, though, I she found some of the critique she received to be of some use.

I have to say I was initially nice to her, partly because her stuff wasn't that bad.
I think I got narked when it desceneded into all that weird cancer shit, because well I thought it was kinda offensive in an unironic way.
That and it was just another, time wasting critique tantrum.

It's hard not to feel bad for her but I felt my sympathy wane when she started attacking people and lying. Maybe she was a compensatory narcissistic (a term I probably shouldn't use since I've had zero psychology training, but to me it seems plausible).
I like the thread partly because it reminds me to attempt to be egoless when receiving feedback on work.
But yes, someone should cuddle her.
Everyone needs a cuddle sometimes.
What about people with fragile skin or bone conditions, you could kill them.
Or just make a mess.
I was told I suffer from osteopassivity!
Oh very clever.
I think Marc suffers from 'smarting of the arse'.
His predilection for pre-war school stories does suggest that his interests lie in that direction...
Yaroop!
