If I have nothing nice to say, should I not reply?

So it is late and I was thinking Some times I will respond to pictures in the Post Your Photos gallery and give what I think is my $.02 and sometimes it is not good. I understand that in the Photo Critique section you can blast away. But in the Post your Photos, I have responded with a comment (nothing specific or lately) that I did not like the photo and why and the person took offence. Nothing big and was cleared up. No idea why I thought of this tonight Anyway, I guess the nice guy in me says, just because I don't like it doesn't mean I have to share it with the person. I am sure I have posted shots that folks don't like and would I be happy if they said "hey your pictures is stupid". Not that I would say that about someone work but I have seen more than a few that folks say "nice work, nice picture hadda hadda" Heck I do that to a lot of pictures. But sometime everyone is saying nice work and I am thinking I don't get it. Maybe I should just go to sleep .

What are your thoughts on responding to photos you don't like. Again, if I don't like something and I do respond I always try and give the reason why and what needs to be fixed. I am not talking about saying your picture is not nice. Constructive criticism.
