Different anon, but I think that while that is the way a lot of people (myself included) learned, it's not the only way to learn. New writers do need to get used to the idea that their work isn't going to be universally liked because no one's work is universally liked and that sometimes they're going to make mistakes and people are going to point those out. But I think there are some people on the other side of the issue who kind of act like since it's the Internet, then the only way that authors will ever learn this is by people being assholes to them to "toughen them up", so if they act like kind of a dick but then call it concrit it's totally okay because it's just the Internet and it's the same trial-by-fire that they had to go through to improve. Honestly, I'd rather people were able to learn in ways that didn't involve people being unnecessarily nasty to them. It was horrible when I went through it, and that's one experience I really wouldn't want other new writers to go through if possible. Especially since that kind of thing can scare people off of writing or even certain fandoms for good.

Yeah, I agree that there are people who are horrible, and that does discourage writers. (I'm sorry it happened to you.) I've been there myself, as have friends. I guess I just think there's a happy medium.
