What is wrong with you? You're like one of those asshats on Hell's Kitchen who can't cook, and then throw attitude around with everyone else. I'm a shitty shitty producer and I wouldn't post 32 bars or whatever of a boring drumloop, ask for critique, and then be a total douche to every single person who comments.
The thing about asking for a critique is that while all forms of art are personal, at the moment one puts it out into the world, one has to separate criticisms of the work from criticisms of you as a person.I don't know who you are as a person and frankly I don't care; you asked people who have more experience than you and know more than you about your track and everyone was honest about the work. You decided to start making this personal.
Why is that? What are you getting out of this? I'm not going to tell you what to do. I will make a suggestion though: until you're at a point where you can have people listen to something you make, and then respond to them with the understanding that everything they are saying is offering you a learning experience and not a personal attack, it will probably not be effective for you to ask for feedback. You're not alone in this; every artist in the world is exquisitely sensitive to criticism, and nobody is able to 100% separate from their work 100% of the time. Just saying that it might be more effective for you to try to be a little more separated, learn more (I learn stuff here every day I read it), and then when you do something really great you can justify your pride with the hard work and success you've achieved.
If you read the WIP thread you'll notice, especially in the last year or two, that there is a lot of reasoned, well-informed critique of both style and technique, usually along with instructions on what could work to fix them. And you'll also notice that with one or two glaring counterexamples, everyone responds with "Thanks, I didn't think of that" more or less.
