Don't be so harsh. Critique itself is neither postive nor negative. Critique is what you make it to be. Even a simple "I didn't know that you're that good." is critique.

And by the way: Even if you say "That is bad." you just do express your opinion. Your opinion is always right. But the addressee doesn't have to accept it. (He or she also should not argue about it.)

Critique is a Latin based word expressing the English "feedback".
It is given for an incident in the past.
It is given in the present.
It is given with the hope to enhance [the receiver's] behavior in the future.

So if you have to express a perceived negative critique, by all means reason it. The above "That is bad" is bad critique-behavior. Phrase it so that the recipient of your opinion can understand why this is your opinion and what you think could be done to improve. Maybe it is your reasoning that leads to the road to perfection.





I don't think that was 'harsh'. Must be the language barrier. grin

Dyslectics Untie!
