The criticism in the WW is fairly tame from what I've seen. Keep in mind that constructive criticism isn't necessarily "nice criticism". It often stings the ego, but sometimes that's what's needed to get people to improve themselves as writers - especially on the internet. Trying to be nice and find the "positive aspects" of an otherwise bad story isn't nearly as effective as straight-up telling the author that their story is bad, why it's bad, and what they can do to make it maybe not so bad (if it is salvageable at all).
