What's wrong with critiquing someone's work? It's up to you if you want to criticize my stuff, and it's up to me if I want to take your critique to heart. People can rip us, compliment us or whatever - isn't it really up to me and to other readers to determine for ourselves whether we agree with the criticism? Just because it's in print doesn't make it so. The great thing about the web is that it's a place for ideas - and you get to decide whether you believe the ideas.

Even if they have no special credentials...or an axe to grind....or just want publicity (hits) for themselves. All they have to do is find other blogs that'll promote their blog, and presto, instant expert. Next up: Blogs that rip other blogs and the blogs that critique those ones, too.
