In theory, I would agree with this, but then who gets to define what is "constructive" and what isn't? What I see on this forum far too often is that any and all criticism of the game is labeled "unjustified" or "unfair" or "vitriolic" and the critics are then viciously attacked and mocked for daring to criticize what "everyone" knows is "the greatest game ever made."

Have you even read this very thread at all, let alone the forums? This just isn't true. Criticism and heated debates about whose criticism is the most critical is basically the majority of the forums, rather it's the few of differing opinion that gets misrepresented; As you kind of prove.
