He wasn't talking about people who criticize in a constructive manner though, but the ones who are so excessively negative about everything that they will actively go out of their own way to insert their negativity in some shape or form no matter how insignificant a topic may be. Even go as far as to directly confront other members of the community for liking something, or making statements which are clearly directed at others.
Such as in this very thread calling people "Larian fans with low standards" just because a few were very excited about the game. That is not constructive criticism, that is just being a douche. Because only a douche would have a problem with other people being happy. So there's a difference between criticism and being negative wherever one can.
I felt this back when I fist joined the forums. Just for saying that I like the chain system and don't have an issue with it, which wasn't even addressed to anyone directly, but it was enough to invoke a certain someone to come at me just for liking something he passionately hated. That sort of behavior is what Warlocke is talking about and it hasn't really changed. People who like the game here are usually seen as weirdos.
