I haven't read the whole thread, but I don't think anyone has yet pointed out that criticizing a fish's play may be +EV or -EV, but regardless, it's utterly classless. I see this a lot, and find most attacks juvenile, nasty, and pretty cowardly, really, because generally people don't behave so poorly in a cardroom. No doubt some people are capable of politely advising someone not to play 8-3o, but most can't help but throw a "s***head" in there as well. The philosophical discussion of fish-flaming is nice and all, but I fear that it will give license to a legion of hotheads with a superiority complex.
