  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1861.

We don't do bulk criticism. Each criticism, even if they are related must be in its own.

It’s true that each criticism should be submitted separately, but that’s not related to bulk criticism in the way you seem to be suggesting.

Imagine a post containing multiple ideas. Then a single criticism of that post will make it look as though all of the ideas in that post are problematic. If the criticism actually only applies to a subset of the ideas, that’s bulk criticism.

For example, somebody submits a post saying: ‘I love Batman. I love Spider-Man.’ Then somebody else criticizes the post by saying ‘Batman sucks because <some reasoning>.’ Now it looks like Spider-Man has received criticism, too, even though the criticism only applies to Batman.

See if you want to change the quoted passage to: ‘We submit only one idea at a time. Same for criticisms.’

I’ve now submitted three criticisms at once. Recall that addressing them requires two steps: changing your idea and deselecting the criticisms your change addresses.

You can address all three criticisms in the same revision, as I believe you’ve done before. Or you can divvy it up. That’s up to you.

Addressing criticisms and not being easily overwhelmed when you receive multiple criticisms at once are both crucial aspects of rationality. You’re on the right track.
