Just "because this is the way it is" isn't a reason to keep doing something. You can still do a harsh criticism in a constructive way. TSR has a really shitty reputation because of the way we treat people, and it's not cause we use "fuck" freely on our board, it's because a lot of us are tactless when it comes to being constructive in our criticisms.
So let this be a reminder and a jumping-off point. PLEASE continue to be harsh in your criticisms, but before you hit that submit button, think about if you're talking to someone who is familiar and comfortable with the frank way you might say something (This sucks) or if they'd benefit from a more decent approach (This is on its way to being great).
And if something DOES suck, point out some guides to help them. Don't leave it at that. I don't want this forum to chase everyone off until it's a handful of us whining at each other. Just try to take things into consideration.
Thanks.
