My opinion on this is that C&C saying that you dislike a story is okay 
as long as you explain *why* you dislike it.

Strangely I find this difficult. I mena, you have the obvious...
 And here, I'll use mine as an example.
  (a standard reply to me.)  

 Good story but containing either doubious or simply bad formatting and 
more spelling mistakes than you could shake a rabid wombat at.

Now, in rebuttal, I seem to have the worst spell checkers in God's univers
and a lerning disability on top of that..
but I can usually attempt to find someone and coax them (at gunpoint) to
lend a hand. Sometimes this helps sometimes it doesn't.

 BUT (again) what If I (or anyone) simply says...

 "I don't know why... but I just don't like it." 

  With one person it's mood or style or word choice... but perhaps they
just cannot put the moment into words... I'd still rather get this than no
C&C and if I got enough posts freom people who simply "didn't like it" It
would probably make me (as the author) look at the whole thing in a more
critical light. 
 
 Any feedback as long as it is within realistic bounds of politleness is
fine...

 (My friends on the other hand are aloud to call me names and issue death
threats :) )
