I actually fully agree that humour and sarcasm can be a wonderful vehicle for assisting to express criticism, but I guess my challenge is defining at what exact point humour turns to a lack of compassion. Sometimes I see very effective humour used in criticism, whereas other times I see the humour used almost as a blind to "justify" the critical position. I understand many different forms of criticism, but there is a point where criticism ceases to actually be criticism and becomes judgement and I do not quite understand where that boundary lies yet.
