juletide's comment was excellent constructive feedback. It had the right tone[1], explained context[2], and included a specific actionable suggestion[3]. This is the exact sort of feedback good authors want; it was in no way an expression of entitlement.

While patio11 may not follow this particular suggestion for potentially valid reasons that he may or may not have, it was good feedback either way.

[1]-It mostly referred to his or her experience negatively, not the text itself. This seems superficial, but it does matter anyway.

[2]-The RSS point validates the experience, and makes it easier for the author to understand.

[3]-The tl;dr bit was a specific suggestion to improve his or her experience.
