I received this response from David Fraser of Ascent Aspirations, a subscriber to my newsletter, EEKsclamations:
I agree with your statements about message boards. It all comes down to trust and what is the motivation for being involved with a message board. There is enough conflict out there without bringing it into a forum where writers are sharing their work, networking and growing with their craft. Moderators should moderate with clear criteria of what is acceptable in terms of constructive criticism. There is enough gate keeping and rejection out there on one hand but also there is a lot of "that's nice" commentary that is also not helpful for emerging writers.
