Polar opposite opinions can also be the result of different experience levels -- for example, someone new to poetry might read a list of cliches and say "OMG this is like the most amazing poem ever, I totally get what you're saying", without realising that the reason they totally get what's being said is because it's been said 935,000,000 times and is so generic that anyone who reads it will have some understanding.
People who've read more poetry, on the other hand, tend to demand more. We're nasty like that. That's still not really an excuse for leaving snide comments on poems -- those are just self-aggrandisement for the most part. Snide comments should be reserved for discussion forums
