User blog comment:Laughing Jake/The Difference Between Helpful Critique and Being an Ass/@comment-4832646-20140601030932

Once again, I find myself saying criticism doesn't have to be nice to be constructive. My logic goes like this. Criticize to help, and be slightly blunt, but if they're in denial or think they're the next Stephen King, criticize to destroy. Even criticism that is downright spiteful can help on occasion.

That being said, there's a difference between criticism and trolling.
