How do you tell people their work is of poor quality?

[almostdone]

Focus on your reactions to this incident, that's the only thing you'll be able to change in the long-run.

And hope that your plans "materialize" (that was a cosmic joke as you know, I just thought it was appropriate at this "nexus").

It may not be the best social tactic, but I usually just go for blunt honesty in this regard. "Your writing style is extremely dull. And your grammar is terrible." When I ask people to edit my writing, I WANT them to be brutal, because I honestly want to know what could use improvement. It would be more embarrassing to submit something with all sorts of errors than to have someone point them out to me beforehand. I also tend to warn anyone who asks me to edit for them that I WILL tear the thing apart, and if they can't handle constructive criticism they should ask someone else. It's always worked fine.

Ha ha, it would probably read better: "Your writing style is extremely dull, and your grammar is terrible."

I was thinking about this and reviewing some of the material. This might be an honest response for some people but I do not think it is a balanced response. For example see this Q/A:

41.19 Questioner: Thank you. In yesterday’s, or the day before yesterday’s session, you mentioned variable speed of rotation or activity of energy centers. What did you mean by that, speed of rotation?

Ra: I am Ra. Each energy center has a wide range of rotational speed or as you may see it more clearly in relation to color, brilliance. The more strongly the will of the entity concentrates upon and refines or purifies each energy center, the more brilliant or rotationally active each energy center will be. It is not necessary for the energy centers to be activated in order in the case of the self-aware entity. Thusly entities may have extremely brilliant energy centers while being quite unbalanced in their violet-ray aspect due to lack of attention paid to the totality of experience of the entity.

The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray. This is why the brilliance or rotational speed of the energy centers is not considered above the balanced aspect or violet-ray manifestation of an entity in regarding harvestability; for those entities which are unbalanced, especially as to the primary rays, will not be capable of sustaining the impact of the love and light of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for harvest.

For some, honest response would be to express this anger (red) ray blockage --called by some "blunt" honesty, however, it is not properly balanced.

The "proper attitude" mention could be worth another whole thread.
