A part of being a writer is knowing that somewhere along your journey, someone will criticize your work. Now whether you ask for it or not, your audience will create opinions about your writings. It is a well known fact that everyone has their own thought processes and ideas about a topic, and being a great writer or blogger means that you can face and acknowledge others' opinions about your work. Another part of criticism is that you can comprehend that you can and will make mistakes in your lifetime. Someone using proper netiquette may and will inform you of your mistake in the hope that you will comment back a thank you to them and change the mistake they found immediately. This may be an embarrassing ordeal for you to witness but I look at it like this; if you can't take the heat, then don't enter the meet. I use the terminology "meet" because I run track and field but that is besides the point. You enter the world of communication and be aware that you are vulnerable to every person to whom you are communicating with.
Now switching to the other side of this criticism world, when you are criticizing another person's work, you have to use netiquette. Make sure that you are sticking to the subject and not rambling on and on about nothing at all. Everything that you are posting to anything online should be relevant to the topic, that is just common sense. Researchers say that a majority of the population has some form of ADD or ADHD but that is not a valid excuse for creating nonsense on other people's pages. So if you are going to comment, be polite and constructive. That is the best thing to do.
