Ah, so, unless I am mistaken, you and others believe that I must be tactful when I make a critical comment, for fear of insulting the recipient?

I just so happen to agree. But I find it interesting that I am being asked this by those who are not so tactful in their criticisms -- or outright personal insults -- of those who, they feel, are inferior to them (i.e., obsessive fans).

So is this a one-way street, with double-standards, or must we all adhere to the standards we set forth?
