never criticize their answers or offer alternatives? You're certainly right that some "discussions" go on too long, and some criticisms are unwarranted and/or outright nonsense. But not all the answers/statements/policy choices from editors/reviewers are Solomonesque either.Yes, the price of admission is very low (for S'phile), and I for one think I'm getting a more than fair amount of entertainment and info for my $$. But I thought at least part of the reason for the establishment of this forum was to voice both praise and criticism as well as ask questions.
Ok, you have a right to get bugged at any post and say so. But to eliminate criticism of mags/editors/reviews due to "It ain't your call" would IMO result in a Critics forum that's boring as hell and also eliminate a number of reasonable complaints and suggestions coming from civilian inmates.
