Um, I don't really think you've read my Riffs if you feel that way. Usually I end them with why the story sucks, and also say what it did well. Sometimes I'll suggest ideas on how the story can be improved, or just make suggestions in general.

I usually try not to be an out-and-out asshole. How well I succeed depends on the reader, I guess, but I usually try. And if I am rather harsh, I usually do feel bad about it.

That being said, a lot of stories I am rather harsh or rude towards usually deserve it. Most of the time they're terribly written and show absolutely no effort, or are extremely unoriginal. Hell, one story literally took "Squidward's Suicide", changed the names, and then called itself "Pythor's Suicide." It's so lazy and pathetic, even if it's trying to be a parody, that it deserves scorn.

Also, I've Riffed good stories too, and have been rather nice about those ones. And, like I've said, I usually try and point out good things about the bad ones.

Maybe you read someone else's Riff. I don't know. But I know that, for the most part, my Riffs aren't like that.
