@Saphodravingo I could spare a few dollars to help SWS and Constructoid! We should set up some kind of fund for a new camera for Jonathan. You can PM me too!
BTW you are awesome... anyway.
As a reader who has attacked a reviewer only on the merits of his review I have to say that these reviewers, whom I do not know in real life, are little more than bylines who sometimes really piss me off. If I knew this reviewer as a person and not just as a blogger, I would sympathize surely. But I can't, and honestly I am not sure it's my job to be a hand holder for people who do shoddy work.
If you give people an open forum to respond to these things in a semi-anonymous way, you are going to get the truth from them (as they see it at least). Are some people going to troll simply for the perverse joy in it? Yes. And do readers want to be validated by the reviews written for games they enjoyed? I think this is also true.
But do reviewers ALSO want to be validated by the comments the readers make? Yes, 100% yes. They want to hear that we agree with them, or that we are going to make a decision to purchase or not purchase based on their commentary. They want to feel as though they have added to the awesome discourse that this site has become known for. I for one am not in the business of including reviewers in that tradition who do not deserve it. So in short... you're asking us to just be nice? Not happening.
Holmes and Felicia are a couple, right?
How do you keep your scalp all a-glisten like that, Holmes? And do you work out?
Thanks!
