That's odd, in my experience judges
always give a 'room to grow' comment. That's why most of us enter judged shows to begin with...to get the critique. You cannot improve if all you get is praise.
"Straight lines should be straight" is not at all the comment of an 'elitist snob', and furthermore the judge took the time to explain what area he/she was referring to. It is standard wording meant to help the quilter improve her workmanship...as she is clearly trying to do by seeking more information from us. Nowhere does the OP express resentment, anger, or discouragement over the comment, specifically saying she is not upset by it and would only like clarification on it's meaning.
