As someone who posts here only occasionally, this is the kind of thread that keeps me from being more involved. IMO, Shay's comments were person-neutral and right on target with the shot.
I want a site that is oriented towards good photography first and then expects a community to grow out of those interests. Posting pictures to 'share' means that a site is not so interested in the photo but in the 'sharing', the 'bonding'. Ugh.
If I post a picture, I expect comments/critiques; I get my hugs from my spouse.

But, the bonding is good, too. I've many friendships built from forum-land, and I'm grateful for all of them. We have to remember, though, that there are "watchers" to the "bonding" threads, and the back-forth is for ALL to see, not just an individual. Shay's critique may have riled the OP but may in fact help a lurker, and that's what makes forum life so great
Some would say harsh. Knowing better, I say direct.
Shay's a good egg.

Gosh that's what I said. Glad you agree.
