In today's class, my blog was shown to all my classmates and some of them gave their opinions about what they thought about this blog. Many of them were constructive suggestions (that the background is a bit dark, some posts are too long...), but there was one opinion which actually made me a bit mad (although I kept my anger to myself): they said that my blog is too descriptive and that it should be more reflective.
The opinion by itself shouldn't have affected me so much, because it's just an opinion and I don't care, but what really drives me crazy is the fact of criticizing my blog without even having read my posts... Because if they have done so, they probably would have realized (or at least I hope so) that I don't describe what we have done in class in any of my blog entries and, in fact, I spend a lot of time thinking what to write on my blog in order to make it reflective but also interesting and valuable to other people (I don't know if I do so, but at least I try), because to say what I think without going any further I could just buy a diary and write my thoughts there.
In particular, what was mainly criticized was my last post, where I explained some of the fields of an e-mail. It's true that that's what we were told to do in class (although in class we had to explain many more other fields), but I tried to write it in a way which showed the importance of this issue. I only wanted to share this information because I consider it is really important, but not because it is what we have done in class, in fact, I didn't even mention that we have done that in class.
To sum up, I just want to leave clear that, before criticizing something, we should get well informed about it, because if not we will probably get it wrong.
