Personally, I think of all anonymous exchanges in this way.
A challenge that's made up of prompts, assigned or chosen, is one thing. However, exchange fests are not just about the writer; they're also about the recipient. I have little problem with off-comm critiques (pro or con) even though I wouldn't personally write negative critiques even in my journal while the fest was going on), but after the fest? Off the site? When the writer re-posts the story to her/his own journal? That doesn't feel rude in the same way to me.
And when people say no concrit in their author notes, I wouldn't send them any...ever. However, that kind of note wouldn't stop me from writing a review in my own journal if I felt like it.
