I don't think there's anything you've said to be in trouble about.. What you say is true, encouragement is great and if you can provide help or assistance, that's even better.
It would be nice to think that every image posted could have some critique or someone offer suggestions etc, but a) there are a LOT of images posted, b) it takes time for someone to offer constructive advise, c) a lot of people may not feel they're worthy to offer the suggestions. Sometimes constructive help may be taken the wrong way by the imager, and it could lead to them feeling worse about their image.
I think a balance is best.. I always try to be constructive where possible, and where my area of expertise allows me to offer some suggestions I usually try. But in a lot of cases I just don't have the time, or I don't know anything about a particular technique (eg: DSO's).
I do think it's great when I read people's replies that offer suggestions or help that ultimately lead to better images. That's what it's all about. The open sharing of information and ideas that help us all to improve and produce better images in the long run.
If you have the time, and feel you have something to add that could produce a better image next time, then go for it!
