What can I say? I love me some Aldric! The kid cracks me up. Yes, all the way from Singapore. In his How To Deal With Criticisms Objectively here are my highlights of his nuggets. (Man, somehow that did NOT sound right…)

1. You are still an asshole, but a helpful one.

2. Awareness precedes change.

3. That does not give you the right, or the power, to be a grammar Nazi and openly attack other writers when their writing is not as grammatically perfect as yours.

4. … all there is in the critique is a demonstration of your superiority over others — Up Yours. I am not interested in listening.

#1 and 4 show that he’s spent too much time around me. Sorry about that. #3=yesssssssssssssssssssssss all day, baby!!
