Sometimes the truth hurts. I think we're all mature enough to handle that. And I personally prefer when people are blunt/honest instead of sugar coating everything or refusing to state their opinion because they're afraid it will offend. There's nothing more annoying than someone who's too weak to speak up and tell the truth -- they can do just as much harm as the people who are mean.
For what it's worth, I just re-read the top 5 comments on the post he's referring to and couldn't find a single one that was mean. Negative, sure, but mean and negative are entirely different things.

Well if that's not the definition of irony right there...
- JoCoLa 14y agoReminds me of I saw a documentary that followed students through med school. One of them was a former mechanic (not to mention a child prodigy and a biker- interesting guy) but he disliked the approach of med school where he would give a wrong diagnosis and his instructors would always tip toe around everyone's feelings and preface criticism with things like 'It's really interesting how you came to that conclusion..." but when he was a mechanic, someone would just say "You're doing it wrong - do it this way." And that's all he wanted - to be told if he was doing something wrong and how to do it right, but there was always this buffer of bullshit politeness in med school.
