Mate, criticism is not a bad thing, especially when it is blunt and very straight to the point.
I dare say, a fully up front comment, without any tippy toeing around or patting on the back is something that I personally appreciate when talking about anything that I care about.
So, even if the up front tone of the comment may be too abrupt for many out there, try and look at it for what it says and not "how" it is said.

I came from out of nowhere specifically to give your comment a thumbs up, Jack. Because I am always listening and I am everywhere. ;)
He lives!
