		<description>Stephen,
Dogs are always forthright so I know exactly were you are coming from. There is a difference between leaving negative feedback and being a jerk. Being constructive and leaving negative feedback is fine, it adds to the conversation, being a jerk doesn&#039;t.

Example: 

Being a jerk: Your header sucks.
Constructive: The header of your blog is so large it distorts the browser when viewed. I&#039;m viewing at 1024 X 768. Also I have to scroll in order to get to your content. 

In the first example the blog owner has no idea what the reader doesn&#039;t like about the header whereas in the second comment there is more feedback that the blog owner can take from the comment, they may not like the comment but at least they know what the reader&#039;s issues are.</description>

		<description>I miss the good old days of Angry Drew.  You should have Angry Drew come back and do a couple of guest posts a month.  We all love Angry Drew.

FYI I provide both postive and negative feedback and always use my real name.
