Quote - Your response seems to indicate you equate the honest pointing out of flaws with "bashing".

I don't think Tomsde meant that, but a whole lot of people here do respond to basic honesty as a personal attack.  In one of my own experiences here, even though the person was specifically asking for feedback, the reaction went so far that they complained to site administration about me with a lot of inventive nonsense.  I didn't let it get to me but it was certainly a lesson on just how extremely some people delude themselves about the quality of their work.
