The sad truth is that the blog had a lot of good points to make: things to watch out for, pitfalls in leadership that we can all get caught by, blind spots that we don\u2019t always see as we are leading in the heat of the battle.<\/p>\n
But all of that got lost because of the personal attack the blogger made on his opponent. If someone has hurt you or violated something precious to you, then blog about it.\u00a0 But keep it.\u00a0 Don\u2019t publish it.<\/strong> Remember once you publish a blog it will get loose forever<\/em>; even after the hurt or emotion is over you still may be paying for the indiscretion.\u00a0 Your ideas and your cause is no good by diluting their impact, causing people to divide up sides between you and the person you\u2019re attacking.\u00a0 Just be careful; be thoughtful.<\/p>\n Here is the point.\u00a0 Blog about concepts, ideas, and solutions.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to be a critic and to pull down other people.\u00a0 But that\u2019s boring over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I read a blog the other day that went on the attack of another person.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t the person\u2019s idea, style, beliefs, as much as it was naming the person.

\nLet me be the first to say it hurts when you\u2019re attacked.<\/strong> Anyone who says to you that criticism doesn\u2019t matter is just simply not being honest with themselves and everyone else.\u00a0 It does<\/em> hurt.\u00a0 You do<\/em> take it personally. I\u2019ve heard people boast that criticism doesn\u2019t hurt them because they don\u2019t read it.\u00a0 Well the thing is, if they don\u2019t read it, how can they comment on it?\u00a0 How does it evidently hurt them so badly that they respond in blogs?<\/p>\n
