Whether it is art, a movie, a book, a design, a business idea - you can find flaws in it, you can redicule it, and you can dismiss it. For it is a far greater skill to create than it is to destroy. In reality not one of us are masters of an entire body of knowledge, the greatest strength of humans is communication and to work together in a common goal.
The next time you find your work being attacked, use it as an opportunity to add to your idea. Ask them for a better idea, to add to your idea. One of two things will happen: the attacker will have nothing to offer and you can dismiss them or the attacker may offer information good or bad. Either way you will either learn something about the attacker, your creative process, or both.
And the next time you find yourself attacking the end result of someone's creative process; either take a step back and appreciate the differences between each of our thought processes as individuals or discuss the creative process itself, adding to their work and not destroying it.
"Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy"
--- Sun Tzu
