I'm sorry, besides starting up an argument/debate from years ago. I'm going to say that's a piss poor thing to say. An art critic doesn't need to be good at making art themselves or have to contribute anything in that medium. That's like saying, you shouldn't criticise politicians because you've never been one. Further, the creation of art ultimately lies with the viewer. The artist creates the original concept, the original story, etc. The people that view and look at that art are the ones that derive meanings and significance. And in that sense they are contributing to the art form.
Lastly, I find it a rather unfair standard you're holding up here. Not everyone has the ability to draw and write. You're saying their opinion does not matter and with that showing disrespect. Ultimately, it's rude to say such a thing.
