This is part of why I waaaaay prefer roleplaying in tiny games now, where everyone knows each other well enough to be able to specify likes and dislikes. There's way less drama of the How's My Driving type.
I do think anonymous criticism is sort of underhanded. If someone else is putting their name out there on their writing, you need to put your name out their on your criticism of it.
And yeah, I think a lot of people dismiss criticism outright because they think that the person being a jerk counts as a critic, too. They're not one, except in the broadest sense of the word. They're a jerk.
