     Well, I think constructive criticism covers everything we ought  
to do. Simply attacking is not Biblical, ever. When Jesus would  
criticize the pharisees, he was doing so to expose their fraud to the  
populous being led by them and wake up the Pharisees too. That was  
constructive.

     I think if you read Ciaran's message again, you'll find it quite  
compatible with your own viewpoint. There is nothing wrong with  
correct people "in love," which is precisely what he says.
