I've been on the giving end of snide remarks before and trust me, they're not constructive in the least.
Putting out original work to be judged is a very singular experience. There is an insecurity, because art—be it a painting, music, or even a short fictitious documentary—is very subjective. The artist may like it, but that doesn't mean the audience will. Because of this there is a responsibility for the audience, when offering criticism, to try and stay within the realms of being constructive and respectful. This art was made for us, after all.
