[color=Orange]Being a fellow writer myself, I would have to read an example of your dialogue to give you a serious critique/answer. But ultimately, it’s your decision, if you want to change or not.
If you have a certain style that you want to keep, then stick with it. Forget the naysayers. Yet, you should take into account if all of your critics agree about your dialogue exchanges in a negative manner, then you might want to consider changing or improving the dialogue.
How many people have read your material? And roughly how many liked your style and how many are not entirely feeling it. If it’s close to 50/50 and you like it, then I say don’t change. But if 70% to 90% have a problem with it (if you’ve had a LOT of folks read your work), then I would consider changing your style a bit.
Bottomline, trust your instincts!
