The latter is the type of person that CM was talking about. Nothing in his post said constructive criticisms are bad. Nothing.
But the type of person the post was about IS bad/non-constructive. People in this very thread are cursing, name calling, and demanding people be fired. Thats cynically negative. And you'd have to be a special type of person with zero self-awareness to pretend like thats actuall constructive. Its not moving goalposts, its literally pointing out to you the type of person he said he will avoid.
Physical violence isn't the only reason people are thrown out of stores. Words/tone/temperament are just as likely to get your thrown out, because its unnecessary and abusive. My comparison works. When I was a store manager I literally threw people out of the store for being racist, cursing at guests or workers, throwing things, yelling... and none of it was because I was afraid of physical violence.
The community as a whole is the problem. Its a vicious circle where they think its okay to abuse people, demand they are fired, and they become even more cynical and negative. Then they post in threads like these acting self-righteous and correct, when they are part of the problem.
I'll never say Blizzard is perfect. I've criticized them on these boards plenty. I've been playing since 2005, so I have plenty to criticize them for. But the community is disgusting, and embarrassing and often doesn't deserve to have their threads considered.
