Personally I want the critisim, from one who is qualified to give such critisim. How else am I supposed to learn what I am doing wrong and improve on the things I am doing sorta right. The one thing that bugs me the most is when there is a game after mine (basketball) and the experienced officials come in and I ask them what they thought and they tell me I did a nice job. That is not what I want to hear, I want to know what I did wrong, tell me that or at least tell me that you didn't really pay attention to the game so you really can't comment. Those are the things I want to hear.

I agree that the input of others can be valuable in a one on one situation. I believe the comment was regarding an open criticism in a public arena. Such as sitting in the stands criticizing someone officiating a game to people in public.
