What if classic photographers posted online?

Excellent :D I do sometimes wonder at the comments on the web. I think the main problem is people gain a little knowledge from books and websites and then get stuck on the "rules" of what makes a good picture. I liked the comment where he lists all his camera kit at the end of the criticism ;)

I loved that touch too. Its definitely true though. You get to a point where you know the technicalities behind a good photo. There are times where you should use that knowledge to critique someone's work and times where you should just be impressed. I'm currently making an effort to remind myself to take nice pictures and to appreciate others work more. I do find myself going "crop, remove that, white balance, etc blah." I'm experimenting more with randomness and trying to learn that photography isn't a DSLR.
