There is one thing that every part of creating constructive criticism has in common. It’s a lot of work.

When formulating constructive criticism online, it’s important to pay attention to your purpose and shape your message accordingly.

Behavior, at least in the realm of constructive criticism, is something that is under the control of the person being criticized.
