Artists would get nowhere without a highly developed critical faculty. Mostly - in the interests of developing their art - directed at themselves and everything they produce, play or compose. A true artist who is not self-critical surely does not exist.
So I don't really follow you when you say "I fail to see what the point of negative posts about specific musicians is." I forget the famous Downbeat interview when a jazz musician rated all the tracks he was presented with with the maximum number of stars "just for being able to survive in the profession". And I and others surely felt a lot of sympathy with him.
But let's be free to call out musicians as we experience them. If nobody used their critical faculties to express likes and dislikes, what kind of a boring place would this be? Sounds like a kind of hippie dream world, not that we probably didn't all have our (very enjoyable) hippie moments....
I'm oblivious to Mike's other posts so I'll pass on that.
