The player base deflects criticism consistently and that is a fact.
I am perfectly happy to listen to any and all criticism and suggestions.

Then again, I am more likely to listen to someone who can offer such advice, when said person does so with respect and courtesy.

For me to want to listen to you, you need to convince me I want to hear what you have to say. Ever stop to think and ask yourself "If people arent willing to listen to me.....could I be the reason?"
