I know what you mean, but I guess I just have a difference of opinion on what's necessary to do that. It's possible to be brutally honest without being hostile...I've had friends tear apart stories I've written, but I had no hard feelings because they were just being honest and blunt, but never mean...words like "disgustingly" are a tad harsh.

Also, unrelated, but if you don't know the anon's gender, maybe don't assume they're male by default? "They/them" works instead of defaulting to "he."
