Just spotted this thread.....only a few words to add:

(a) Any person who performs an act in public is validly open to criticism

(b) Because criticism itself is a public act, no-one is more open to criticism than the critic

© The critic who thinks he/she will escape without being criticized is a fool

(d) The wise critic, like the wise chef, winemaker, conductor, playwright, etc knows how to learn from intelligent criticism and knows equally how to put the silliness aside

(e) Alas, putting the silliness aside is not always easy. With apologies to Mr. Freud, even critics (like psychoanalysts) have egos.

Best,

Rogov
