Which is the one that comes closer to the situation that is being discussed here. Because aren't we supposed to believe that people calling others bad (or "politely" telling them that their performance is bad) are only trying to offer "friendly" advice? Isn't that the sort of assessment one would do in order to help others improve?
If that's really the case, I don't believe writing the word "bad" in a chat helps much when it comes to receiving positive reactions from the other side.
