It's not very generous to characterize my comments re: critique the way you did. Of course critiques can sometimes be helpful, but public critiques of an artist attempting to market their work? The negative probably outweighs whatever positive comes of it. I suppose that's to be judged on an individual basis.
I'm not accusing critics of being hostile, just doing what they do. To me it's similar to the legal system -- it's adversarial. Both critics and artists have their jobs.
Generally, artists don't like bad public reviews of their work (does anyone?). Personally, I like to take my crits when I ask from people I trust. I'm not trying to characterize how Cory felt about AFC's review.
