Hi Matt!

Maybe your comment would have gone over better if you had started off by thanking the author for the time and thought that she put into writing this and listing all of the ways that the two of you agree before you launched into your critiques… and then of course finished up your comment by stating that her attempt to help dismantle rape culture is AWESOME and she deserves a pat on the back even if you think she could do better next time.

Or do the rules you’re trying to teach the author about constructive criticism somehow not apply to you?
