so this "model" asks me what I think of her and I give her my honest opinion, which she didn't really like. now I've been bombarded with her hate mail and comments, most of which i've deleted. congrats to her, she is the first person I've blocked.

Generally when you're asked about giving feedback, you need to judge for yourself whether or not they can handle the honest truth. If you're unsure or the answer is a flat no, don't spend much time on your answer - they won't benefit from it anyway! This is a perfect example of someone seeking compliments without putting in the hard yards. They are a dime a dozen. Consider her a waste of time and move on.

LOL  I've been bombarded by photographers with hate mail!!! When I model of course.  They usually send me hate mail when I refuse to work with them.  I can tell if they are professional or not right away and some of them don't seem to like that.

I used to get hate mail for my old website (a non-pay site, if you can believe it) and I used to publish it on the website with the names changed to protect the guilty.  I'd leave the spelling and grammar errors in place, of course, but I did cleanse out the offesnive words.  For example, instead of the "f" word, I'd replace it with "colorfol colloquialism rhyming with duck". 

I used to get fan mail about my hate mail page.  smile

When I started the paid sites, I figured it's better to be safe and just delete it from the inbox...

OK so you can now also expect Hate mail from me. It is realy poor form deleting the comments. The ones you left on make for such fun reading. Bad bad bad boy. I was having so much fun reading them. The realy funny bit, is they dont reflect badly on yo at all. Your work is in such stark contrast with the comments, that it realy is just so Funny. Laugh, and let it be, a storm in a teacup never lasts very long.

precisely while you will not see me ever offer reply in the critiqque forum. i will from time to time offer comments to a private message, but even then only if I can see some possible potential in the requester's portfolio.

Virtually all requests like this are fishing for compliments and a not so well veiled 'casting call'.

The above is to photographers and models alike (and stylists, artists, blah blah blah...)

That's crazy! She doesnt have the right mindset to be a model if she can't take comments wether they're negative or positive.My friend went to a playboy casting call and made it into an upcoming special edition.She also became a Hawaiin Tropics girl and got a free trip,but didnt win anything there so she became extremely depressed, crying to everyone in total hysterics to the point it was scary.You can't be number one all the time.

LOL

That might be the reason. She took that personal, wouldn't you? Lack of class is strong.

Sorry, you are getting the emails, hopefully she will stop but if not, just ignore her. Hard to have a fight with yourself.

Good luck!
