This is Terry Pratchett, yeah? I recognize the hat, and I agree with this secret. I don't know what it is, but there seems to be something just plain Good about him. ♥
A week before I made the con-crit she told everyone on her f-list that she wanted to improve as a writer, and she always writes shit like "reviews are always welcome!" in the headers of her stories.
I think half the problem is sometimes people say that they want concrit but... really they don't, even if it's just to point out grammar and formatting errors and the like. As a writer, I can kind of understand that it kind of stings hearing that you're less than perfect, but if you really do want to improve and ask for help with it, it's kind of ridiculous to get pissed off when people actually provide it.
This is part of the reason I only tend to offer concrit when I beta for close friends. It kind of sucks that reactions like that make a lot of people so wary of offering concrit when it's explicitly asked for, though. (Although, yeah, some people do word things badly or offer crit when it's not asked for or wanted, but that doesn't sound like it was the case here at all.)
Well they obviously take a bit of getting used to, but that's a ridiculous reason not to watch the show -- getting over weird-looking animated character designs is incredibly fast and easy if you start watching frequently. Especially if you get invested in the characters (in which case I recommend sticking to seasons 2-9 if you ever do find the desire to watch it).
Well, I'm not embarrassed in the slightest to state the opinion that The Simpsons seasons 2-6 (maybe even 2-7) was THE best sitcom that has ever been made. As in, funniest, smartest, highest quality writing, most creative, best characterized, most brilliant world-building...everything. People dismiss it because even though it's still airing, it actually went completely downhill about 13 fucking years ago, and because it's animated.
I don't know how much influence CLAMP had on the project as a whole besides character designs but the show gave me the sense they might have had a word or two in the scripting. That or their work's own influence just popped up. They seem to have a lot of this kind of suggestive subtext in their other works.

I don't have a crush on Garrus so much as I ship him and FShep like burning.

I haven't even seen enough to evaluate, sadly.
