Another general rule I use is that if what I'm wanting to say to the critic is negative or mean-spirited, I should say nothing at all. If I come around in the end and realize they are right, great! If I still think the criticism was unjustified after a few hours or days, I can keep a classy reputation by continuing to ignore it. It all works out fairly well.</p> Good point.

This wasn't always my strong point, but since I started honestly considering every bit of criticism, I've only improved myself.</p> Exactly.
