I have found it uncommonly difficult to submit constructive criticisms, no matter how tactfully worded they are.
For reasons not entirely clear to me, the denizens of Wikiculture label almost any feedback as a “personal attack†or as “trolling.â€
Such feedback is commonly dismissed, disregarded, or simply reverted in a manner that often borders on churlishness.
It is in these situations that social critics have traditionally turned to humor, including satire and parody, to communicate their message. It’s a folk theorem that when those in power don’t take their critics seriously, their critics turn to the art of ridicule.
