Nadine uses the phrase "constructive criticism" to say such is acceptable. The problems with that term are obvious, but most central is its distaste for criticism it doesn't like. One might ask what is the point of criticism if it's all likeable criticism Once again you twist an obvious term. The destinction between "constructive" and "destructive" criticism is NOT whether the criticism is "likeable" but whether the criticizer wants to IMPROVE the thing being criticized or wants to DESTROY it. By your logic, if I must accept Senator Biden's criticism of US foreign policy as acceptable (which I do, though I disagree with most of it), then I have no grounds not to accept the criticism of radical Islamists. This is moral cretinism.
