    It is certainly true that we all have opinions and should express
    them. Criticism is important in the craft and art worlds and can be
    invaluable to any one who makes their living with their hands and
    minds. 

    What I think that people, myself included, were responding to in
    questioning the negative responses to the Ring book was the
    dismissive and somewhat bitter tone that some of these negative posts
    have taken. This same tone has appeared before on Orchid in some
    posts concerning Art, Artist's statements, Exhibition in Print,
    Metalsmith and SNAG. 

    Again, all opinions are valuable. It would be helpful, perhaps, if
    when expressing dislike for a publication or a maker's work that
    specific reasons be stated to support such criticism. It seems to me
    somehow lazy and small minded to dismiss work as simply "land fill
    jewelry". 

Respectfully,
Andy Cooperman
