    Whatever personal satisfaction a critic gets tearing down his imagined enemies, it doesn't compare to authentic joy of building others up

        @rgbsoul tearing down/scathing commentary is appropriate in criticism sometimes (I am a fan of @ggreenwald for example!) but few deserve it

        @avantgame Amen. I hope I'm not the only academic deeply suspicious of destructive criticisms.

        @avantgame So, this guy wrote an entire book just to criticize others? What a waste of paper.

        @avantgame This times a thousand. I love building up the work of others. Picking at things is just so numbing, lazy, and boring.

        @avantgame Thinking about it, critics ought to have the fewest enemies of anyone. What causes personal bias to go wild more than an enemy?
