to anyone who's ideas were criticized in my posts. I am a scientist and in scientific community criticizm is something people want to hear. If someone took the time to listen to your ideas, think about them and formulate coherent criticism, then that person made the best possible compliment to you - he actually considered that your work is important enough to spend his time on.
Sometimes I forget about this peculiarity of my life and take it for granted. And then something reminds me that for most other people criticism is something to avoid and they feel offended when criticized.
So, I apologise to anyone who feels offended by my criticism of their ideas. :)
