It's sad when Artists creating ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS must remind other said artists that Art is an Expression! That like religion and speech is a protected notion under our constitution in the US. Something that personally I think should be protected around the world.
What I find ridiculous is when a fellow artist seeks not to critique my artistic skills regarding photo-manipulation, painting, drawing with regards to color, lighting, composition, proportion but instead critiques my beliefs. Should I critique your religion, or lack of, your living style or marriage, your choice of hairstyles, clothing, car see the list can go on when we start attacking people personally when we critique art work based on beliefs as opposed to artistic skills.
I have read two excellent journals written this week by people I respect and care about talking also about acceptance of individual beliefs and choices. Mine is less well written but comes from being slammed not because the proportion was off on a piece of my work but because Oh My God had the nerve to create a FEMALE ANGEL!! WOW

Ok My BELIEF Since you WANT TO SLAM THEM is ANYONE can Evolve beyond who and what they are here. Be it angels, gods, spirits, whatever YOU want to call them. Why because yes I believe we all have souls and the soul is more powerful than the limited idea that only an asexual being never found on her can be that pure and good!!
But Guess what THAT IS MY BELIEF NOT Yours or his or hers or theirs mine and I Express MY Art the way I WANT TO!!
Go ahead Critique my skill but leave my character and my life and my beliefs out of it!!!
And I will not go critique with insults to yours or others religious beliefs cause believe you me I have heard them and could come up with some good ones to tick anyone in any religion off. Ya want to know why I do not critique peoples Art that way. Because it is THEIR Expression and like their beliefs theirs to express and believe and I have NO right to tell them not to!

i dont like when people do that, i too get that sometimes for the different subjects i chose to portray in my art ,
i rather someone asked me about it in a nice way or privately than go on attacking i find that so unprofessional.

I'm with you Sophia. It really disturbs me when I see or hear of someone critiquing the ARTIST and not the art. To me, and I know to many artists the creative process is SACRED and YES their art and beliefs are very closely intertwined...Critiquing an artists technical skills is perfectly acceptable. HOWEVER, if someone wants to critique the beliefs or inclinations that prompted me to create said artwork....THAT is a philosphical debate at best. At worst it is an ATTACK against my beliefs, character and morals. Either way, that sort of discussion is not appropriate in the arena of critiquing ARTWORK.

I have to agree with you my dear. Personal attacks are just not on and I have a problem with people(and organisations) that do it. It's just not nice or respectful at all.
