People get mocked for failure. You cannot do anything of any decent impact without getting mocked. Toxic or not that is how it is. You can try to shield everyone or you can deal with it. Heck, this board allows "mocking" in a nice, neat mechanical fashion via down voting. If saying something sucks isn't acceptable then down voting isn't either.
The high risk isn't just $. The time people had to spend fixing the last problem was painful. You can bet people will want to vent.
> To your second point, learning from other peoples less-than-constructive criticism does not require going out of your way to help those people in the future.
Its not going out of your way, its being responsible. Not informing people of danger because they were mean to you is just bad karma on your part. I might not like someone, but I will tell that same someone about any danger. Any other behavior diminishes you as a person.
