Which is more constructive?

[Weeded]

But Weeded, would you prefer to be praised or damned? I'll do the opposite, of course.

Praised most definitely

But yes I agree with Ambrosial, Achebe's critiques are awesome, although his(or hers, I still dont know your gender) personal style took awhile for me to get used to. After enough reading I realized he (or she) is probably one of the best poets on this site so it became much more apparent why his/her crits carried sometimes so much frustration with it.

Wait, which writer? The critic or the criticized?
On a slightly tangential note, if you meant the critic, wouldn't it be swell if we also had a forum where we got to criticize crits?

The criticized, duh
