They are written by critics, whose skill is criticism not creation. They don't need to be artists themselves. That doesn't mean that the offending comment in this case was not a troll attack (I never saw it so I can't say), but the comment must be considered on its own merits (if any), and whether the commenter is an artist or not has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE. If the only people allowed to view and comment on our pictures are other artists, we might as well all pack up and go home. I do feel rather strongly about this, so please excuse the block caps.
