I’ve had this debate before and was unable to come to a conclusion. It seems to me that any criticism, no matter how valid, could be characterized as harassment.
What do you guys think?
Is there a heuristic for determining which one a statement is?
Does everything just exist on a continuum between the two?
Is this harassment?

    I think it’s pretty simple in a personal setting it becomes harassment when the target of the criticism asks you to stop (or it’s otherwise clear they’re not interested)

      This is what I was gonna say. In the simplest terms possible: unsolicited criticism = harassment.
