I love constructive criticism, I take all opinions onboard and learn from them. I also respect other peoples' opinions and enjoy reading from others who are strong minded and enjoy intellectual discussions that can arise from such confrontation. What I don't have space for is downright rudeness and people who show no respect for others. Destructive of nonconstructive criticism is the worst form of "comment" and I try to brush such nonsense off my shoulder. However, there is one problem for this site in particular. As people are learning languages, it's easy for them to misinterpret the +ive and -ive comments. And of course, easy for them to misword sentences that give off a signal that they may not have intended to give! How to be polite when using another language is a really big barrier for learners. In such a case, we should exercise a little patience and understanding.

Hello Jura. Gosh you post a lot of questions and answers hehe. I think there are two types of people who write offensive answers on italki. The first type is the insecure and cowardly bully who hides behind a computer screen and upsets people because he/she knows they are 'invincible' on the internet unlike in real life. They are annoyed that people here are having fun, making international friendships and learning so they try and ruin it for us. The second type is the close-minded and rude person who believes that they are always right, and everyone else is wrong. When somebody says something that they disagree with, they reply with offensive messages. I think it is annoying when people write offensive answers on italki but I will not let them ruin it for us. We are here to learn and have fun and 95% of us do :D
