Oh, Charlie's a twit. No argument.
If I find myself in a "no criticism" zone with a Charlie, I generally endorse covert criticism if I can pull it off, ignoring the no-criticism rule if the consequences are minor enough, or leaving the room altogether.
All of this sadness and pain and teeth-gnashing is to my mind irrelevant, though. If I think the conversation is pointless, I disengage from the conversation. I often do feel bad about it, but I don't endorse feeling bad about it.
It may also be possible to draw a line around what is or isn't appropriate within the no-criticism zone. If it's meant to be a safe space for sharing feelings and experiences or whatnot, drawing in metaphysics (silly or not) is strange. You could possibly discuss it with him in private.
