Fair points. I wear a dick skin over my thick skin. Once a piece is out, it doesn't bother me a bit if someone doesn't like it. If the offer advice and I don't agree, that's fine too, I simply say, "well, I did what I wanted to do. You can write your own story and do what you want to do." That's dipping the dick.

But I do follow the silent dick rule. If I read something awful, I just step away. No clap, no comment, no dick print.
