To all my critics.....

....please take a hike or a paddle around Finger Mountain!

Nah, only joking.
Yes there are some people out there that will just want to poke fun and ridicule someone else's endeavours, whilst out there will offer constructive criticism.
All you have to do is work out who said what and when and how!
It's simple really and the best thing about opinions is their uniqueness....
we all have one and we are entitled to have one.

I think the section below explains it better, well that's my opinion!

Not sure now

The thing about opinions is they are unique, and deeply personal. To know someone's opinions on issues is to know bits of the person's psyche. To tell someone their opinions are wrong, or stupid, is to tell them there is really something wrong with them, with who they are.
Now, that's not to say that opinions can't be changed. Of course they can, politicians strive to change our opinions, as do advertisers, friends, and families. They each appeal to a specific part of our psyche.
Usually it's that insecure part that tells us we aren't smart or rich or good-looking enough. We listen because we hope the person trying to change our opinion has the profound truth.
And sometimes they do. Sometimes we learn something new, something redeeming, which nourishes our mind and broadens our horizons. Something that challenges our thoughts and forces us to grow.
Sometimes all we learn is how the other person's mind works. The process of forming an opinion is as telling as the opinion itself.
It is just one more of the many facets of humanity worth celebrating. Our differences are what make us individual, INCLUDING our opinions.
The day we cease to respect the opinions of others is the day we cease to respect the individuality of that person.
And when we fail to respect fellow humans as individuals, do we not lose a bit of our humanity?
