Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

My point was that the incident undermined the reviewing community.....

your belief, or lack thereof, has no bearing on that. In fact, even if the whole incident was reported speciously, it has no bearing. The damage is done.

Agreed that salespersons are known by customers to be compensated on their suggestions. No need to shout. But reviewer accomodation is out in the open as well. Mr. Dudley, who you referenced in your previous post has devoted entire columns to explaining where every piece of gear that he owns has come from. It's a bit of a tempset in a teapot.

We can agree to disagree on the gravity of accomodations and how they undermine reviewers credibility.
