Stugoo's got a really good point - it's all in the presentation of the critique or request for feedback. If you approach the forum like a wanker, you'll generally get treated like one, and vice versa.
tbh, my observation is that it's only noise that there's a lot more of on here than in the old days. I remember it always being harsh (I tentatively put my first crit on here back in '01, knowing then I was about to get shot to shit), or random - but hey, that's the internet.
There are myriad varying levels of competence on this site, and each and every voice that engages in the process has its place and use - it's the job of the submitter to have a thick skin and wade through that which they think is relevant. If someone's just being a dick, it's easy to ignore them. Less so if they've got a point:)
I know that, personally, I enjoy wading in to crits because I find such analysis a good learning process for my own needs. But, I'll readily admit that, despite my years of experience across the field and my own arrogances, I'm nowhere near as skilled as many of the people on here... but I'm arrogant enough to assume that I'm not a complete fud either, so carry on gassing..much like I am here now.
