you know when I first started out (and to be honest still today) I had a hard time taking critism about my sites even being aware that they “weren’t all that”. After all, you put a lot of time, etc into the creation and sadly but all too true; someone else comes in and in 5 seconds points out a major flaw that you totally missed, or at least allowed to go unaddressed…
and did they see all, or even any of the wonderful qualities?
well once there; you’ve already started the process of denial.
In my case its usually denial followed by “fix it” followed by “closer scrutiny” followed by “now its bullet-proof” …
which I think I am not alone in that… however I imagine that I go it alone past that point….
because yes: sadder yet in my unique case … the whole process starts over again 
I think that before all is said and done; that if this business is pursued with any kind of seriousness … that a time will come where the dating stuff comes down and though nobody was eloquent enough to say it here; … when that time comes I think it will plenty suffice as public statement that “maybe you were right.”.
What I find distasteful about this however is the attitude back because where I come from if the guy you’re trying to make a profit from says the sky is red…. baby the sky is red!
We don’t go tellin’ the potential customers that their breath smells bad and they’re dressed funny.
of course, I’m sure there is more than one way to do business. Insulting or telling them to “take it or leave it just the way it is” … is one that just never occurred to me.
Good luck on that.
