No...... maybe I don't hold "bashing" to be as negative a term as some
people are taking it, but "bashing" *is* what occurs on most dicussion
lists. "Constructive Criticism" is critcism designed to construct
changes. Since that is impossible on a List of this nature (Dubya hasn't
subscribed yet (though he probably should! :)), the comments are clearly
criticism with the intent of taking the moral stature of the United States
down a notch among the Brin-L readers. Thus, the comments are "bashing."
