so repeatedly telling someone their business model doesn't work and is the downfall of the industry is not negative?

If we were talking about recurrings, xsales, mailings, traffic country filtering etc. all those things paysites do to make money, which many webmasters find a harm to the industry, then I wouldn´t take it personal, if someone told me that those things were a negative to the industry. If I disagreed with the comments then I would say so, if they gave good comment/views/ideas etc. then I would listen. There is no correct way to run a business - its always changing, and the way you find out is when income/profits drops, however there are usual warning signs before this happens - one of them being comments/ideas/concepts from others, so it often pays to listen.
You could try and convince me that my person was the downfall of the industry, and then I might take it personal, however saying that the way business is done will be the downfall, well thats just business - nothing personal.
I have seen too many people loose part of their personality, because their business failed in which they had invested so much of themself... all business will eventual fail - everything is on time.. what you got today, could be gone in 1 year, so do not take it personal in business - it will only end up hurting more than its worth.
