Oh don't be a "oh please be constructive" pansy. The critic isn't there to give you a pat on the shoulder, he's there to tell you what he liked or didn't like about what he's reviewed — and why. Since you know why he liked or didn't like something, you respond or judge for yourself whether he's right. If you agree with him on what went wrong, then it's your job to figure out how to do a better job.

As scriptwriter of Kent Ridge Hall's Production "Here Lies Love" and personal friend to both the scriptwriters of "You've Got A Friend In Me", I think Jian is spot on with his commentary. Most of the problems with the story were mentioned in the article. You want constructive criticism? Try not to repeat any of the problems next time.

Dear BC SB: The author of the article is our contributor, Ho Yi Jian, as you would find in The Common staff page. http://kentridgecommon.com/?page_id=156 His name was signed off as Jian because the username in his email account is "jian". I can assure you that in all the articles we publish, we do establish our true identity for credibility purposes. I hope you enjoy your stay here. Sincerely yours

Give some constructive criticism – suggest something of your own ! Cynical criticism doesn't help in getting more readers to your work. Constructive criticism helps.

Publish your full name PLZZZ
