If people are allowed to squee over how great this series, why shouldn't others be allowed to point out faults in the series, whether it be writing, characterisation, world-building etc.

Acknowledgement of constructive criticism is the way most writers develop their craft, though it can be quite harsh at times (as the old saying goes, "Good medicine tastes bitter"). Unfortunately, Meyer is too thin-skinned to take criticism, which just stunts her own growth as an author. Besides, dissenting opinions lead to discussion and debate, which is what sites like these are meant to encourage. The critics' opinions are no less valid than the fans', no matter how much one party might frustrate and annoy the other.
