You know, folks, there's a difference between constructive criticism and just being an asshole.

CONSTRUCTIVE: "I'm not sure I like the end of this story. I don't think it fits with my interpretation of your theme (insert theme here), because of (insert quotes from ending here). In that same vein, I thought (insert sentence) was weak because of (insert word choice). I don't think that diction properly conveys the feeling of (insert feeling here) you're attempting."

ASSHOLE: "What is this shit?"

I understand that being an asshole is much easier than being constructive. But don't act like a person can't take constructive criticism when that's not what you're offering.
