What a shame.

Why is it a shame? Yes it's a shame when someone is insulting or starts a flame or something like that. It is not a shame when someone like Oleg, who is clearly from his work also a perfectionist, puts his work out to the public and reads the comments on what looks great and what can be done better. The flight simulator crowd are a bit of a fickle bunch yes... but many are extremely well meaning and bring their various expertise and knowledge to the table. Examples: the London Tower Bridge and Italian Medals discussions or the Re.2000 request for help. The info isn't always out there but people are happy to provide that added layer...
When you are an artist... and being a game developer is as much a science as it is an art... a significant part of that process is the critique. It isn't always pretty... sometimes it's not always nice (although it should be measured) but that back and forth CAN be a positive event. I think most here are being very positive.
Criticism does not necessarily equal dislike.
