Billcat, just because you are critical it doesn't mean you don't care or love something. You comment, and see what's wrong, because you care.

Trust me on this one, this area was a hell of a lot better thirty years ago.

It's a bit like parenting.

If you tell your little darling they are clever/wonderful/talented, that is good, and will build their self confidence.

If you tell them they are going to be the next Einstein/Picasso/RobbieWilliams, most of them will grow up delusional, and be in need of a life time of therapy.

It's called tough love.
