It would be more embarrassing to submit something with all sorts of errors than to have someone point them out to me beforehand. I also tend to warn anyone who asks me to edit for them that I WILL tear the thing apart, and if they can't handle constructive criticism they should ask someone else. It's always worked fine.
Ha ha, it would probably read better: "Your writing style is extremely dull, and your grammar is terrible."
That has probably more having to do with red ray blockages (if made in anger) /orange blockage, if personality/power issues than with honesty most of the time. Especially if you are not being honest with yourself stating "this is my opinion"). Moreover, it is not a balanced answer since it does not contain green radiating vibrations.

His goal seems to be that he wants to show how much he knows about subjects rather than improve their articles.
If the article gets consumed, oh well. I tried.
