Amen!
For a newbie soaper like me....this is so nice to read. Its always frustrating when you're working on getting better at something and people just talk badly without helping. I feel like when you don't give a friendly word of advice/criticism its almost a cosign. Not to mention, if I were out shopping for these products and didn't know what I do now about soap, I would be susceptible to buying. I'm already praying to the heavens that I never leave a bad taste with anyone who experiences my work but I know perfection is nowhere near my middle name so I would want someone to just let me know straight up, soaper to soaper. Sometimes you can think you're doing well and that may not exactly be the case.
It may behoove those that know to help guide those who don't, as every crafter benefits when the standards elevate the same way all are suspect when inferior product is sold to the unwitting. Perhaps it would be more beneficial to help address the labeling or characteristic issues of their product and site the responsibility and personal consequences, rather than to simply prove one's nescience of the craft. Lincoln said, “He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.”
