IMHO, there is a difference between criticism and critique. When I write something that that will be on the internet forvfer., I hope I am wise enough to couch it in kind, gracious way. Being Irish I try to use Irish Diplomacy which is defined as the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he looks forward to making the trip. One does not have to demean another to state their opinion or their opposition. I would not think I have thin skin if I am offended by someone attacking me personally in public. I would consider them as rude. Possibly there are too many rude, negative remarks made here. We do not all have to agree on everything, or anything; we should, however, be adult enough to agree to disagree and go on enjoying the wonderful place God has gifted us to live.

I find "Irish Diplomacy" to be disingenuous and ruder than just saying what you think straight out, minus any hurtful words or phrases. Irish Diplomacy could also be called manipulation, which to me is deceitful.
I would rather everyone be honest about how they feel.
