Generally, the first comment to Skyrish is fine. Whether that is because his comment was "nice" (so you responded nice) is up to you to decide.

The point you make is valid because it is your idea/opinion. What I responded with was something that challenges the factuality of that idea. If your next reply was misdirected, so be it, the point I made was still standing.

Now 2 scenarios:


 * I wasn't clear I meant your technological advancements.


 * You didn't (want to) catch the point.

Anyway, it wasn't entirely clear so forget about that instance, but what you can take away from it is that criticism needs to a back-and-forth. I think we are adult enough to not have to write 3 nice things just to "criticize" something. Critique is saying something is bad and should be changed to make it better. Things not criticized are good enough or even very good (which should be highlighted as well, just not necessarily with critique).

TLDR;

Don't be a smartass when it comes to critique. Respond to it with confidence + your ideas/opinion, or rightfully highlight a flaw in their critique. The art of 'Jabbing' (which I mentioned before) are cheap responds that are neither a good response to the critique, nor are they a valid reaction in a discussion (A well known jab is the classic personal insult, either directly or indirectly)
