Critic

The wall is an equal­izer. It doesn’t mat­ter how long you spent or how hard you tried. What’s on the wall is all there is. When we pub­lish, we open a line of engage­ment where crit­i­cism is an option, so we must learn to not only receive the feed­back of oth­ers, but learn to give it in a civil, artic­u­late, and help­ful way.

— Frank Chimero in The Wall

Before we slit each other’s throats in debates while insult­ing oth­ers’ per­sonal choices and tastes, let’s pause—take a deep breath—and think really hard about how we speak or write.
