'Constructive' is a code-word for 'good comments only'.

	That's something that stops being true when you graduate 
Elementary School.  I'll once again restate - constructive criticism
is where you point out the exact problem and give a suggestion on how
to fix it.  
	As an example - I had Ukyou saying "You said we were only friends,
Ranma, but I didn't care."  Now, in the context of Ranma and Ukyou's 
relationship, this is accurate.  In factual recounting, however, he never
said such a thing.  This was pointed out to me as such, and I reworded it
to say "You never said we were more than anything but friends, but I 
didn't care."  This is a factual, constructive point - neither 'good' nor
'bad'.  
	Besides, you're missing my point.  My point was that people are 
more likely to listen to you if you put it in not-mean way.  Everybody
can have their say, and the author will read it, but they will in most
likelihood ignore it if it's in a uppity, hostile, or condescending 
manner.

      Making blanket statements such as "This is pointless.", "This is
stupid.", or "This is a waste of my time." are NOT constructive.

Well, speaking for myself, I have never thrown out a 'This Sucks'
comment. What I have done is to point out glaring problems, and comment
on things done right.

	A bit defensive, aren't we?  I never aimed that comment at 
anybody.  Funny you should be defeinding yourself.

	Anyway, this is getting pointless.  If this thread is continued,
I'll take it to private e-mail, so don't get pissed everyone...
