[QUOTE="J Man, post: 26582, member: 2370"] It really burns my butt when someone writes a review for a product that aggravates me more for reading it than the reviewer likely felt about reviewing the product to begin with. :mad: Is it really too much to ask that when you write a review, don't tell me that the reason you didn't like something is because you basically thought so? To add to it even more, to then not even be capable of offering a constructive criticism that could improve the product? To make it even worse, to then expect me to follow "your advice" and not consider buying the product in question just because you didn't like it? :confused: Imagine that I took a good long look at you and summed you up by saying "Well, your hair looks ok, but you're dressed rather awkwardly, your shoes are so-so, your eyes are just... whatever, and you're basically just lame. My advice to you? Stick with the comb." :eek: How would you take that? What would you think about me if you heard me say that to someone else? :( I motion to start reviewing the reviews, not just on this site, but anywhere else also. Even if you think someone has done a lackluster job on something, at least make the attempt to be professional when criticising it. Am I alone on this? But that's just my opinion, of course. :D [/QUOTE]
