The problem with constructive criticism is that еру overwhelming majority of people who are OK with it, don't actually need it. They write good stuff. They are sure of themselves, of their abilities. They don't lose sleep if somebody tells them their fics have flaws. OTOH, people who are unsure of themselves tend to be agressive and nervous. And it results in conflicts and de-friending. BtVS fandom was already fragmented. Now it's even more fragmented. I don't know if it was worth it.
