Refrain from the negatives

[Tristan Lall]

It's a given that the vast majority of us who attended the Championship enjoyed it. But that doesn't mean that we can't legitimately find fault with certain aspects of the event.

We don't exist to placate anybody. By refraining from airing our concerns, we are relying upon individuals to catch all of their own mistakes. While this might be ideal, it's also unrealistic. So it isn't a matter of attempting to offend—the motivation behind most of the so-called negative posts has been a desire to improve upon what has come before. Yes, people take their feelings too far, on occasion; but we shouldn't let that stop us from offering reasoned criticisms of those things which merit improvement. As long as we avoid libel, and keep the criticisms civil in tone, I don't think there's really a need to put an end to those threads.
