Yes, but then we get into the endless "well you can have an opinion, but I get one too." Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/10/2010 04:34:36 AM
I don't have a problem with Larry's opinion per se; I have a problem with the needlessly offensive manner in which he delivered it.

What a terrible review Larry - 26/10/2010 11:52:25 PM 665 Views
He voiced his opinions. Everyone does reviews differently. Aeryn - 27/10/2010 05:32:27 PM 555 Views
Yes, really Larry - 27/10/2010 05:45:01 PM 648 Views
You're acting in a totally uncalled for manner. His reviews don't need to meet your specifications. Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 03:54:31 AM 569 Views
His reviews don't need to meet Larry's specifications, but Larry is also entitled to his opinion. Tom - 28/10/2010 04:21:57 AM 530 Views

So how exactly does one raise a valid concern that a review reads like a bad 5th grade book report? Tom - 28/10/2010 04:56:42 AM 483 Views
The way Legolas suggested? Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 05:57:46 AM 579 Views
You want me to do that? Larry - 28/10/2010 10:09:27 PM 522 Views
Jesus. Relax, would you Lordling - 27/10/2010 06:16:15 PM 637 Views
Relax? With the profanity you used? Larry - 27/10/2010 10:49:26 PM 595 Views
Ignore this. I need to calm down. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 05:57:07 AM 278 Views
I haven't read the book so can't judge all that well, but I've seen far worse reviews here. Legolas - 27/10/2010 06:59:25 PM 525 Views
I'd be scared to think there are those that are much worse. Is functional illiteracy that bad? Larry - 27/10/2010 10:51:32 PM 591 Views
what he said. *NM* Aeryn - 28/10/2010 05:08:08 AM 295 Views
Granted, it's not the best written review around... lord-of-shadow - 28/10/2010 01:31:22 AM 551 Views
Has it ever occurred to you that it is a metaphor, rather than an alternate reality? Tom - 28/10/2010 04:20:26 AM 573 Views
Well, me not being very knowledgeable about Africa..No Lordling - 28/10/2010 05:10:12 PM 656 Views
