Without exception (ok maybe outing the size was a bit out of bounds) I think the finders logs were helpful and reasonable. Just because he volunteers his time in a few high visibility positions should in no way negate his right to express his opinion. My advise is to accept the criticism given by an experienced geocacher and move on.
Also just because the majority of logs are favorable, does not mean the cache is good or that there are not problems with it…it often means folks take the path of least resistance when logging. In other words they do not take the time to write a log honestly expressing their opinion of the find. I usually provide a very short log (usually the shorter my logs the less I liked a cache…unless I’m on a numbers run then most logs are kept brief) rather than directly criticize a cache. I have left a single “.” on a couple of caches that were complete crap. That said there are those among us who tell it like it is and we are not used to hearing that…maybe we should listen more and take the opinions of others in stride.
Twice I posted a note this week about caches I personally did not approve of (one was in a residential area in view of 6 houses which I refuse to do and the other was a WSQ which I felt was too exposed to the home next door). Those were my opinions and other folks either had no problems with these caches or chose not to mention any discomfort in seeking them, either way as a cache owner I would want the good input as well as the bad so that I can do better next time or right a cache that is perhaps not so great.
