I’ve had this debate before and was unable to come to a conclusion. It seems to me that any criticism, no matter how valid, could be characterized as harassment.
What do you guys think?
Is there a heuristic for determining which one a statement is?
Does everything just exist on a continuum between the two?
Is this harassment?

    Criticism is friendly, with suggestions of how it could be done/viewed differently.

    Harassment is just a bunch of incoherent arguments without suggestions and often without going into the actual content. Mostly a word, maybe also a sentence, is taken out and jigged around on it. To add more confusion, the subject is also changed frequently and quickly to prevent any chance of rational and meaningful conversation, leaving the readers exposed to the monologue of the small-minded troll.

    Just my 2 cent.
