No, no, I get it. Besides, IRL I sometimes (without meaning to) do come of as a Smart Aleck. I was the kid who corrected the pastor on his interpretation of scripture and using the same verses he did showed him exactly how he was wrong. Politely, yes, but I still get some warm fuzzies when thinking of his gobsmacked look. (Of course, I am also a little brattier when it comes to people misusing holy writing in general, as that actually affects people's entire lives).

And don't get me wrong. I believe firmly in the Praise-Crit-Praise approach. You don't go in and crit people without telling them what you liked about their work. If you don't have anything nice to say, it's better not to say anything at all and all that jazz. (Plus, if it's really so horribly bad that there isn't anything nice you can say, most likely they aren't mature enough to handle crit as they don't seem to be mature enough to really think through a story, so it's a waste to say anything in that case. At that point anything you say will cause drama.)

Not to mention if a person says they are doing it just for fun, then yeah, person should shut up and hold their peace. Or if it's a gift. Criticizing a gift is a no-no unless they ask for it.

And I did grow up in a house that encouraged free thinking and asking questions, but I don't think it is wrong to be passive (in most cases). I just think it's not quite right to criticize someone for not being passive, or to criticize someone for being passive (once again, in most cases). Now, being mean? Hell yeah, criticize the hell outta that.

Now, whether or not it is smart to criticize in different circumstances is a whole other ball of wax, so I am certainly not debating that the OP was smart in that instance to crit a BNF. But that is a whole different issue entirely. ;)
