A bit of a conversation with myself

[QDeathstar]

It definitely matters what other people say. No one is posting on the critique forums because they don't care what people say. 

You started out so well -- anyone who posts on a critique forum and then says they don't care what other people say is either entirely devoid of intelligence or a flaming hypocrite.

And then you go on to say this...

Most want positive feedback as well. People object to harsh negative feedback, they take it personally (I'm guilty).... People need to be loved.

What a load of steaming horseturds.

Meh. Not many people want to be told their poetry is shit
