I’m a pretty touchy person, and I’m quite good at handling constructive criticism, so I’d say yes. People can be touchy for a reason.
Did they ask for constructive criticism? |

Are we talking.....
The naturally sensitive ones?
The egotistical ones?, ego soon bruises
Or the kind that think they're smart by looking to be offended?

"Not in the case I'm thinking of, but what I said was leavened with positivity too, a blind man would have seen it."
Was there any need to give constructive criticism if it wasn’t asked for?
I’d be a bit annoyed with that to be honest |

Why did you feel the need to say anything? |

I considered my options in how to relate to them (joking aside) that seemed to be the only way. |

You felt that criticising them was the only way you could converse? |

Maybe not criticism, but positive advice. |

They didn't ask for it so it will likely come across as either condescending or attacking them. People ascribe tone to the written word, we all do it, you're doing it now!
I've not seen the exchange but if it was worthy of you starting a thread then perhaps you need to be addressing them directly. I'm not saying who's right or wrong, it kind of sounds like 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. |

Is the constructive criticism well given and thoughtful? What reaction were you expecting or often LOOKING FOR  |

I have problems dealing with boastfulness and a huge ego. I always want to take them down a peg by pointing out inconsistencies (lies) or similar.
I really shouldn't bother but I always rise to it
Maybe I shouldn't be so touchy about their lack of self esteem, or maybe they shouldn't be so touchy about my truthful comments.... Or maybe we would just be incompatible...who knows;) |

"It’s all about judging your audience OP  "
I never seek agreement for agreements sake, so honest challenges about my actions I accept. Although the
Character who mentioned I was begging for it so thats why he posted is a 'strange one'. |

There are some people who are entrenched in certain forms of behaviour of which 'being touchy' is one of them. That type often like to give out but don't like recieving ( my opinion). |
