I think there is an establishing of trust that has to take place on the side of both the writer and the commenter before constructive criticism can work

This is very true... Your post has been rolling around in my mind with the knowledge that through threads like this I surely have blown any opportunity for a warm trusting bond with several writers. That's sad, and not my intent. Thing is, this trend toward hostile reactions to anything less than glowing praise - even when feedback is earnestly requested! - is an ugly way for our beloved site to go. That kind of environment doesn't allow for the possibility of trust and acceptance of each other and certainly isn't going to lead to better fic.
