DNJ, if someone tells me that my voice is out of tune, and I say, "Hey, you're infringing on my original intent as a songwriter," that's pretty stupid.
If several people in different forums say that your hook is great, but the other lyrics aren't very professional, should I tell them, "Hey, if I change anything, that's messing with my original perception." That's pretty dumb too.
Because of some constructive criticism, I tuned up my vocals, and I reexamined a song, and wrote verses that were more cohesive with the theme of the hook.
I'm intelligent enough to take any critique with a grain of salt. But I'm also intelligent enough to listen to people and see if what they says reverberates with what others say and what my inner voice says.

I'm guessing you never bought a CD or record album then...or passed on the same?? The only professional critic are those who make the decision to purchase the music. If I hear a song, I first ask myself if I would want to purchase that song....IF not I explain why. I cannot say great things about a song I would not buy to listen to again and again.That would be disingenuous. In my opinion the Rolling Stones wrote and recorded terrible songs, always have. I never spent a dime on their music. Yet they were successful as was Tiny Tim. EVERYONE is a valid critc of another's art. [This message has been edited by Kingfrog (edited 04-01-2009).]
