Unless you are talking strictly personal stuff, there is no such thing as other people's business. Everything else, if it doesn't affect someone directly, affects them indirectly.

No-one enjoys criticism, but it's a heck of a lot more useful than being told how wonderful you are. You don't need praise, because even if it is sincere, by definition you are already doing what your fans want. The things people don't like are the things which are costing you money.

Anyone who is near as smart as some of the "gurus" in this thread seem to think they are, should have the confidence and ability to judge negative comments on their merit, not on their source or the motive behind them.
