Bah, you know how to suck unconsciously! Which I guess means you suck while you're sleeping.

Common advice I give people:
Slow down and pay attention to what you're doing.
Edit on impulse, undo buttons are there for a reason.
Watching your video source will help more than listening to your audio source.
Caffine and Alcohol don't make for good drinks, plenty of water.
AMV perfection is an asymptote.
It's always the ISPs fault.

I like all of that, especially the asymptote comment

Although I disagree with you on the caffine comment

Mt. Dew is the brew of editing.

I've never ever had a glass of water while editing. Go Seagram's 7!

I've never had any problem recieving or giving constructive criticism. Most creators I know are overall friendly and helpfull with it. they may say something you find irksome about the video that you disagree with but you don't always have to follow all the advice you are given. As long as it doesn't reduce it self to meaningless slander, I never seem to find a problem with creators giving honest opinions on a video.

GO GO POWER RANGERS!!! :O

And I'm all for constructive criticism, both ways. Honestly I don't think there's enough of it given.

Mountain Dew - good old hypercaffeinated US Dew.

Criticism is a very, very good thing. Personally, I get twitchy when nobody helps to point out things I could do to improve, because I don't want to plateau. You can improve merely by practice, but having somebody spot you, catching things you didn't notice, is extremely valuable.

And let me say that this community seems really good about taking criticism. Honestly. As a whole, you rock. I've been in communities where people will flame you or burst into tears if you tell them their work isn't OMGTHEBESTESTTHINGEVAH. And I've seen others where they get very, very hostile and start attacking you and your own projects if you dare find anything less than perfect with theirs.

I have yet to see any of that fit-throwing around here. It's very refreshing.

As for giving... You know, constructive/detailed criticism is a holy grail anywhere you go. I've heard this in every medium I've worked in or asked about, from writing to art and everything in between. So having said that, I would say this is more or less on par. Of course it'd be nice to have more detailed/analytical opinionating, but I understand why so few people have the patience to do it. (I'm too lazy to write really good writeups myself.)

So. I think that's what the original post was getting at, and if not, then HEY!! I just created a topic. Whaddyaknow.
