Contrary, if you get on these same boards and have constructive criticism of adults, the way they conduct themselves, or the way they manage themselves, it is a completely different matter.
We should never say anything bad about kids. My Mom taught me, that when I didn't have anything nice to say ... to say nothing. But with all resepect to my Mother, if I have something constructive (that sometimes is less than glowing) to say and if I feel it is warranted, I will say it politely.
I think that IS one thing that these message boards can do that is POSITIVE.
It is possible to be constructive without being negative!
Excellent post! I agree with it completely and I am going to try to follow it going forward. Over the four or five years that I have posted I know at times that when I have offered criticism of something ran by an adult that I have probably not always been constructive and at times have gone too negative in my criticism. Most of the time I believe that I have tried to be constructive but I know that I have not always succeeded. I am going to try my best to follow your advice 100% in my future posts. Thanks for your post, Randy.
