Thank you for also caring about my comment. What I mean by 
"unsympathetic criticism," is criticism that comes from a point of view 
of not liking the thing that is being criticized. Some people need a 
little courage to receive that kind. I don't know if your point of view 
is sympathetic in this case, but if it's not, well of course that's 
perfectly valid too.

The point that I thought was worth trying to make is that artists should 
not let fear of criticism preempt their creative impulses. Not that 
anyone involved in this conversation is in danger of doing that, but 
some readers of this list might be.

P.S. sorry I misspelled your name, Mathieu.
