I've been stewing over this one privately, and I didn't even notice there was a thread about it.What's worse is that I compared the numbers of the complaining person's company to those of the "obviously inferior" company that I was supposedly kissing up to, and the average of his company as I had rated them was higher!Further, I have not been ripping into the company in my reviews, though he seems to think that I have. I just am willing to point out what I perceive as flaws.Worse still (this may tip my hand, but ah well), [edit: yeah, it would. Don't want to point fingers. Comment deleted.]To me, that displayed a certain arrogance and contempt for one's peers. But AFAIAC, the proof is in the pudding.Well, like when my daughter throws a temper tantrum when she doesn't get her way, I simply intend not to be influenced by it. The company in question still makes good products, but I still intend to call them as I see them.As has often been uttered, there is no such thing as bad publicity. A while back, Eden gave copies of their modules away to anyone who would write a review, good or bad, because they knew that getting more recognition was important. Getting good reviews is even better, but you have got to earn them. I don't think I would be as influential as a reviewer if I didn't call them as I saw them. I don't think the reviewers who pick one or two publishers and rave about them get taken as seriously.</blockquote>
