Yes, criticism wasn't the issue in the particular *post* in question at the centre of all the latest - Lew obviously saw that as an unfair personal attack - but it seems to have been the critical nature of Martin's posts that initially started getting backs up in the first place (or maybe it was just the way they were expressed?), and Al had queried whether people should actually say if they think things are poor.
