I too have a similar mechanism when somebody has a different opinion of my work. I remind myself that it's only a suggestion. If I interpret their words as mean spirited I simply do my best to let it. It's obvious these types have some deep seated issues that are beyond placing a comment on a blog. If the criticism is constructive, I'm very happy to engage. Great points Mark. I too have a similar mechanism when somebody has a different opinion of my work.
