Hell yeah, appreciating criticism is not (IMO) primarily abt finding critics you agree with but finding critics who stimulate yr thinking, deepen yr appreciation and get you to think about works or art forms in new ways, even if the way there lies thru disagreement and anger.

Some readers will at times respond to work by critics with statements like "You obviously just don't like games/movies/whatever," when in fact the critic's writing comes from a deep love of the medium, albeit in a perspective that those readers are unaccustomed to.

OH! btw! All this talk of hating games because you love the medium reminds of this Marianne Moore's poem 'Poetry.' I, too, dislike it. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it, after all, a place for the genuine.http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/poem/2009/06/marianne_moores_poetry.html …
