What's your point; "who are you to judge"? Besides, he's actually a pretty insightful tester and wad judge.
If someone (particularly with good playing skills) were to tell me there was something bad about a beta I just released, I'd be curious about what they found to be wrong, rather than telling them to shut up.
My point? Simply that it's easy for anyone to say that something is a piece of shit. He (as you) are entitled to your opinions. Likewise, I'm entitled to label someone who makes off-handed remarks "a fucking critic". Now, if he had been specific about what made it "unplayable crap", and said it in a manner that didn't deliberately try to offend, I would be more receptive. Furthermore, I can't believe that he didn't find something of redeeming value in the maps. People (certainly me) would take him more seriously if he provided some basis, however subjective, for his opinions. In the absence of any of the above, and the blatantly rude manner in which he presented his opinion, I called him a "fucking critic".
And don't give me any bullshit about how anyone is entitled to express his/her opinion on the Internet in any manner they please, and if someone doesn't like it they can shut the fuck up and unregister from the forums. Just because the medium facilitates the anonymous expression of opinions, however poorly considered, it does not mean that people need to behave like "fucking critics", occasionally known as assholes.
Incidentally, perhaps you believed I was telling him to shut up. On the contrary I was telling him to shut up if all he had to say was in a one-sentence diatribe. As for me, I doubt I'll be changing the way I map based on ungracious and offensive remarks that shed no light whatsoever on how I can improve. Particularly from someone who is not generally known for providing helpful comments.
