While I agree it's good to be sensitive when someone's putting their life out there I don't really get what she's saying. She says "Literary criticism is your thoughts about a writer’s writing. Cruelty is your thoughts about a writer’s LIFE."

So she wants people to comment on her writing style but not the content of what she's writing? That doesn't make sense to me.

I think I get what she was saying, but I think it was poorly worded...

If you talk about your life, your views, your perspective then of course those things are going to be judged & criticized.. if you talk about your marriage, your kids, your job it's all on the "chopping block" so to speak.. BUT regardless of someone agreeing with you or not, your worth as a person, woman, mother, father, man, human shouldn't be up for discussion & someone shouldn't demean or abuse you.
