In which case, why not provide your constructive criticism OFF-LIST? If you were at a party, and you gave someone "constructive criticism" in a voice loud enough for the whole party to hear, how constructive do you imagine it would be? Far more likely, it will just put the person on the defensive. By posting comments to the entire List, you did exactly that - speaking in a loud enough voice for the entire party to hear - and not surprisingly, rather than your criticism being constructive, it ended up putting people on the defensive.
