Re: What is wrong with the NFB?
Slippery slope territory, that talent show. As a performer myself, I understand the idea of recognizing talent and not just making people feel good. At the other end of it, though, who does it really hurt? I'm not wholly at one end of the spectrum or the other on this. When I go to karaoke and someone gets up there and really, really blows it, I don't boo and I don't go tell them they sucked. I just don't cheer too loudly, I don't make a huge effort to congratulate them. If it is someone I know and they ask how they did, I'll respond truthfully but politely. I think it's important to encourage people even when they're not great at something, but I think it's also important not to just buck them up on false hope and praise. Be realistic, but be kind.
