Anticriticism

Let me recommend a general Anticriticism, a universal medicine or panacea, to put a stop to all anonymous reviewing, whether it praises the bad or blames the good:

A facile resignation, a crude anti-intellectualism and anticriticism is in the air. It can be frankly and grossly Philistine; it can be a blithe defense of amateurism, impressionism, enthusiasm; it can be the skepticism and historical relativism […]

The anticriticism movement began to take shape even before the worldwide political and military upheavals of the mid-1990s. Earlier in that decade, both management and labor had argued for the abolition of performance reviews. […]

So-called anticriticism clauses or gag rules should be prohibited as a condition of plan participation.
