I agree with you cobalt,too.  I want truth about my renders, not meaningless praise or platitudes.

One fact of critiques: You cannot please everyone all the time. Period.  Not everyone will read descriptions. Not everyone will even like what you did. All any of can do is give as thoughtful and honest a critique as you can.

I want to be pushed to do better and people's comments help with that. If people don't want comments to help them grow, we don't have to give them. If anyone is offended by anything I said, I apologize for any hard feelings.

Anything I said about any picture is because I think they can benefit from it, and I sincerely want them to do better.  No more or less. Sensitve people may well have feeling hurt by people's ctitiques.  It's unavoidable.  Unfortunate, but in the long run, unavoidable with some part of the people.

All we can do is the best we can do and comment we can. On the flip side, we have to be ready to RECIEVE crits, as well.  It's a two-way street.

I cannot save the world. Only my little piece of it. If we all act together, we can save the world.--Nelson Mandela
