I agree! I think people are WAY too eager, like sharks, for an opportunity to rip something into shreds with an eager audience. No point to that except mental masturbation, I guess, and I know if someone did that to me, I'd not find it helpful at all, even if there were little truths in it, because of the intent. I would know that the criticism is NOT coming from a desire to make my writing better but to smack me down.
