Criticism

Hi SkepticT,

I must apologize for the fact that my duties have recently prevented me from engaging here as much here as I would like. I see Erdogan as a conscientious person trying his best to do what is right, but such may not always be as easy as it might appear to some such as myself. Personally, it seems to me that "destructive criticism" seldom benefits anyone, but "constructive criticism," which is made respectfully, and which I believe should even include within it at least some alternative hope for a better future, is seldom harmful. In the West, seemingly destructive-criticism, seems to me to have gotten a bit out of hand recently. In many parts of the East, even constructive-criticism seems to me to be silenced. Wherever the "happy middle-ground" between these two might lie, I only wish I knew?

I sincerely hope that my schedule might soon permit me to contribute more here at Wikipedia in the near future to assist in what I believe may be an accomplishment that now rivals even the goodly Mr. Gutenberg himself here, (or at least it rivals Mr. Carlson.) Hoping to continue this dialogue here sometime soon.

Thanks kindly,
