silencing users who have issues with your project is a really bad idea.    If you want to create something great you absolutely need to be obsessed with your detractors and the weight of what they have to say.  Because unless they are a competitor engaged in outright slander, there will be some truth in it.   Ignore criticism at your peril.    Someone who takes the time to write out an even somewhat well reasoned criticism is doing your project a service.

I found the above blog post very interesting as I’d like to get more data on what the large, perceived issues are.
