  1. Jordan,
    You really to seem to understand that peer editing cannot be done successfully unless one has a positive attitude. I am glad that you mentioned how we need to think of the affect our critiques have on others. If we would could not benefit from our own feedback, how could someone else benefit from it? I also love the picture you chose to use because it demonstrates the importance of correct punctuation. I think it is great that you outlined your post, but using full sentences in you outlines in the future may help your main ideas flow better. I believe that your sentence "Whether that be papers, blogs, or other project[s]." (in the first paragraph) would be considered a fragment, but simply merging it with the previous sentence would fix that easily.
