Constructive Criticism: A Handbook Speaking & Listening More Effectively in Personal Relations, Groups, & Political Activities By Vicki Legion (Gracie Lyons), 1976
Constructive Criticism is a wonderful example of the blending of valuable and powerful socialist theory with a practical, down-to-earth pragmatism. The result is an extremely useful manual for people who work together for positive social change. Putting Gracie Lyon’s suggestions into practice will increase the power of people’s work as well as their personal sense of well being and satisfaction.

Yes I am fond of this. I’m particularly fond of pointing out that I think a person is smarter than they pretend to be on the internet. A lot of people say really stupid things to hold on to something they want to argue, when they are not in fact stupid people but are simply in the reddit debate pervert mindset. The things they say are ridiculous, they themselves are usually quite able to see how ridiculous the things they say are too. It’s possible to be a flatterer while also attacking.
