And what exactly is wrong with being critical of the critics?They put themselves in the limelight as do many of us. They have the power of the pen to persuade some of us to purchase products while avoiding other products, to cause some companies to flourish while causing other companies to close their doors. And that's potentially regardless of real product performance.
And just in case it hasn't dawned on you, this power is only possible by their persuading you to part with your and our hard-earned monies.
Frankly, It's the ones who are not critical of the critics and who think their words and actions are above reproach that are in danger of drinking the Kool-Aid and who trouble me most. I think it's called, among other things, "asleep at the wheel", "checking one's brain off at the door", etc.
Remember, just like any other industry, this industry though a hobby or entertainment only to some is ultimately all about business and making money.
Whenever there is motive, there should be skepticism.
