I think in one sense he's right, if you see something you find beautiful, by all means you should praise it. On the other hand, if you see something you dislike, you should also let the writer know, even if the writer disagrees with you.
The trick is for both the praise and the critique to be specific and clear enough to give the writer another perspective he/she might not have already considered.
It's still hard for me to offer insightful, helpful comments even after being a member here for a while though, so I do see where a lot of the new people are coming from.
