In pro news, I'm about to sign on a short book for O'Reilly, dipping my toe into book writing again. 36 books, here I come. #YesI'mNuts

@welshstew Absolutely agreed. 100%. Without effective critique I'd never continue learning, adapting, growing. And I also need the hugs.

@betulapendula Then I heartily suggest you go give @arranrp his #webhug. We can all grow from this experience. So why not?

Quick critique guide: Find strengths, talk about them first. Find issues, talk about the issues, not the person. Wrap up on a positive note.

Call for CUDDLES! Straw poll? MOTION CARRIES! Now everyone go hug someone and remind them you love them, respect them, and that they matter.

We do not stay in the argument, as it simply keeps the argument going. We make a solution. We have the skills and resources to do so.

I think we stop giving our energy to any negativity. We build other events. We encourage new talent as well as respect wisdom in veterans.

@codepo8 what happened? Where was that? I'm so sorry :(
Exactly @jaffathecake. What's more, we all benefit from well-delivered constructive criticism! That should be encouraged IMO.
The Web community remains among the best. In part, we'll keep it that way because we will build around the negativity, create other forums.

@philsherry @intranation Anti-popularity whinging has a place as in "give others a chance, too" but straight-out shit listing people, no.
@codepo8 Yeah, it's nice to still have a few goals though, even if they are just pretend ones ;)
No, there's a revolt against cruelty @jaffathecake Not constructive criticism. BIG difference and every professional speaker knows that.
