When the constructive comments are given in a tone that is more like ridicule, it makes folks bristle a bit. I never been a professional photographer, but I've been a teacher for decades. If I publicly humiliated a student with the intent of helping him constructively, I'd have every reason for the student to resent it. You claim that you gave me fair warning by stating in the first few sentences that you were going to rip me apart, and then you proceeded to do so in the same post. I think fair warning would have been sending me an email off list saying "Do you mind if I denigrate your picture on the LUG?" and I could have come back and said "No thanks, Ted; I'd prefer to withdraw my invitation for comments". Threatening to do something and then doing it in the same breath is hardly fair warning.
