Adam,

It's also a matter of time.

I hope others will recognize how shallow and sanctimonious these remarks are, 
and that at least some will understand and make an
effort not to treat others this way. Empathy and compassion most certainly have 
a place in community interaction, and IMO are one
of the more important parts of the "community over code" concept.

Additionally, I have noticed over the years(not just in ofbiz), that
people don't want to *give* critiscm *at all*, because they are not
prepared to deal with the backlash from those who receive the
critiscm.  When said people try to give such constructive critiscm,
and then get chewn out over doing so, they take it personal.  Even
when the critiscm is completely justified.

I understand that.

I, however, am not concerned with such matters.  When I give critiscm,
and others can't take it, it does *not* phase me.  It's only when
others then respond, saying that I shouldn't have commented at all in
the first place, that I get upset.

I am also the same way when people find issues with what I have done.
I am overjoyed to have feedback, 'cuz that means people are actually
reading my code.  If no one responds at all, it can me 1 of 2 things:
one, there were no problems, or 2: no one read it, and there might be
problems.  I tend to ere on the side of caution in these cases, and
keep assuming that no response means there are undiscovered bugs, and
this makes me uneasy.
