So how exactly does one raise a valid concern that a review reads like a bad 5th grade book report? Tom Send a noteboard - 28/10/2010 04:56:42 AM
Offensive, perhaps, but to say it was needlessly so is highly subjective.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

What a terrible review Larry - 26/10/2010 11:52:25 PM 728 Views
He voiced his opinions. Everyone does reviews differently. Aeryn - 27/10/2010 05:32:27 PM 622 Views
Yes, really Larry - 27/10/2010 05:45:01 PM 717 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 635 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 596 Views
Yes, but then we get into the endless "well you can have an opinion, but I get one too." Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 04:34:36 AM 664 Views

The way Legolas suggested? Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 05:57:46 AM 641 Views
You want me to do that? Larry - 28/10/2010 10:09:27 PM 587 Views
Jesus. Relax, would you Lordling - 27/10/2010 06:16:15 PM 704 Views
Relax? With the profanity you used? Larry - 27/10/2010 10:49:26 PM 661 Views
Ignore this. I need to calm down. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/10/2010 05:57:07 AM 306 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 591 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 630 Views
what he said. *NM* Aeryn - 28/10/2010 05:08:08 AM 315 Views
Granted, it's not the best written review around... lord-of-shadow - 28/10/2010 01:31:22 AM 616 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 635 Views
Well, me not being very knowledgeable about Africa..No Lordling - 28/10/2010 05:10:12 PM 718 Views
