When does your opinion make you an asshole?

[Drewski]

There is a well defined line between critiquing and criticizing. One of the problems is most of us don't know where the line is. I have a couple of friends in Ireland. Upper crust posh type. They could tear your bike to pieces verbally but do it in such a manner that you'd say "Why thank you. Very kind of you".

On the net, these folks are few and far between!

Opinions are just that. Opinions. I don't take offense to 'em.

Criticism without constructive comments is useless. Just saying, "You shoulda done 'this'... " doesn't give credit to the builder/tuner/fabricator/owner for already thinking of 'that' and simply deciding to go a different way.

I love the constructive criticism. It's valuable to be able interact with it.
