[Peter Bro10]

I thought this one was, at times, humorous, then irksome... then mostly irksome.
So, let's see what the Dictionary might have to say about critics... I'm goin' with number 3!

critic

critic (krît´îk) noun
1.One who forms and expresses judgments of the merits, faults, value, or truth of a matter.
2.Abbr. crit. One who specializes especially professionally in the evaluation and appreciation of literary or artistic works: a film critic; a dance critic.
3.One who tends to make harsh or carping judgments; a faultfinder.

[Latin criticus, from Greek kritikos, able to discern, from kritês, judge, from krinein, to separate, judge.]
