Accepting criticism

Commenting is one of the many features that these new web pages offer. You can look at someone's page and be able to share your opinion. Netiquette is what should be used when commenting on pages. It is the fancy word for being appropriate on the internet. When commenting on a page it is ok to criticize, but it should be done in a way that helps the writer, not bring them down. Some things that can prevent the writer from taking criticism the wrong way are also putting complimenting comments. This way the writer can take the criticism and still feel good because there were other good aspects. Some things to avoid when commenting are argumentative comments, bullying, and inappropriate wording. Everyone can see these comments and it could lead to more trouble. Some tips for the writer are to take criticism as a helping tool to make your writing better. Sometimes people take criticism the wrong way and hold it against the person who wrote it. Writers should have the attitude that the person criticizing the page is trying to make them better, not worse. When you have the opportunity to use these tools, people should use them to their advantage, but with netiquette. This way both the writer and commenter get something good out of it.
