I do not like your response to Bryan. Seems like you are dismissing the issues brought up and claiming at its okay because "well they were my friend so i have a right to defend then". Also, the constant reply to every negative response gives me heavy tiefling vibes with how her applications were received. : )

I don't think someone should be generally faulted for trying to give context to negative comments/concern on any kind of application of theirs, what's to be judged is the depth or earnestness of those responses.

This is the place where a person SHOULD be an open book and respond to all comments/concerns. Those responses add context to their person, and allow us to have more footing when deciding if we think they would be fit for what they are applying for.

Now, if you think those responses are weak or half handed, that's a fair concern on your part.

Personally I take them as pushing back as opposed to trying to receive criticism, as I've seen it be a pattern way to many times here, but I understand your point and can definitely agree with most parts!

I may be reaching and getting a bit tangential here BUT I don't think "tone" is a fair thing to judge when engaging in discussion on a forum thread like this. There's a place to judge tone on a forum, of course it isn't out of the question across the board, but when someone is willingly putting themselves on the spot for all to critique I think the OPs tone can generally be thrown out the window because of the assumption of risk they are taking, if that makes sense.

All of that being said, I get your point.
