I agree that they shouldn't bitch about having their flash blammed, but I don't agree on the undertone that they shouldn't upload it. Newgrounds is also for gaining feedback on your flashes, and I sometimes review first flash if there's something useful I can say about it. They might get better because of that, and then submit higher quality flashes.
I don't think many authors who submit their first mediocre flash want people to think that they're a great animator. They either want (a little bit of) money, or feedback. And for both of those points it's better that they upload it.
