[MR] A&S Judging Question Part Two

[Marsaili Johnston]

It was on the judging sheet, so as far as I know it came from a judge. Since it was unsigned, there's no way to tell for sure!   There were cards available for the populace to leave comments too.
   
  If someone doesn't have the courage of their convictions to leave their name as well, then their opinion is not going to be of any value to me or anyone else.  However, for all the reiterations of 'judging sheets must be signed,' it is not uncommon to get them that aren't.

  I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences. Are you sure that the unsigned comment was from a judge, not just someone from the populace who wanted to leave a note? Some people who are not judges do leave comments cards. It would really surprise me to find a judge who forgot to put their name on the form. If I encountered an unsigned form with no name and really negative comments, I'd just put it aside and move on to the helpful things. 

Feedback in the SCA is no different from feedback in the rest of life: consider it all carefully, but then only take away what you find useful. There's no sense emotionally hanging on to feedback that isn't helpful to you. (Although you may want to set aside some judging forms and come back to them as you gain more experience in your craft. What might not be helpful to a beginner may really make a lot of sense a year later.)
