Phrases to forever expunge from your critiques

[danny_]

well, we must believe there is a point a poem can reach when it really is just fine as it is. i know the poster wants to improve it. but maybe the writer knew well enough what he/she was doing and it came out great. at that point we should say what we liked about it, i know. i guess the problem with "i really like it" is it risks being viewed as flattery. i personally can't bare to type flattery. if i ever said i really liked it, i really did. but i will try to give more than that in the future.
