[@FortunesFaded] I've been Co-GM on multiple RPs on another site (plus a few here), and managing the OOC/reviewing apps essentially became by primary role. On that site, people loved the way I picked through their apps, so I guess I didn't see the need to change my behavior from site to site if I was praised for it from where I came. However, picking through their apps entailed a full review, including pros, cons, sometimes neutral points, and then an overall summary of the app + what they could have done to improve. So I guess it would be harder to feel offended in the way I did reviews.

I understand that how people take criticism varies wildly from individual to individual, a fact I wasn't considering due to the above reasons. I've taken great strides towards becoming an entirely neutral and unbiased critic from where I started, but maybe I'm not there yet. I don't know. If I ever feel the need to speak up again, I'll use a lighter hand. It's something I can do, but never really felt the need for.

TL;DR I understand where my fault lies, and will work even harder to improve. A great reviewer shouldn't be able to offend even the touchiest of individuals. That's what I'm going to achieve.
