This attitude is maddening. You're not perfect, so you have no place pointing out other people's flaws? Ridiculous! This is also the third time I've seen it expressed in the last half hour. Where do people get the idea that no one should be allowed to criticize them unless the critic is a flawless person? Is this the result of the "you're a special person" upbringing many of us suffered through? Are you a perfect programmer? No? Then shut up, my code works. Are you a perfect father? No? Then shut up, my kid's behavior is none of your business. Are you a perfect driver? No? Then shut up, dotted lines are just suggestions. No one is perfect. If you can't deal with criticism, consider it a reflection on YOUR character, not anyone else's.
