He is. But I couldn't resist using the expression :) As for criticism - it's supposed to put the finger in the wound. Which might hurt. A good "Verriss" (translation?) is not just constructive, it's sometimes mean and nasty as well -if the piece of work that is being criticized deserves it. Citicism is an art itself and shouldn't be boring (I guess we all agree that stuff like " your fic sucks" or "My poodle writes better fic than you do" is not criticism.), and I think it has every right to ridicule what is "ridiculable".

P.S. Mal ganz abgesehen davon ist ohnehin nicht alles, was im Netz auftaucht, in die Kategorie Literatur einzuordnen und dementsprechend auch nicht mit dem gleichen Respekt zu behandeln. Ich finde es völlig in Ordnung, sprachliche Entgleisungen ab und zu abzuwatschen.
