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

RE: One of the problems with ezines...

While I sort of agree with this - isn't that what forums are for? I am a reviewer and I often state what I don't like as do publications.

Everyone whined and moaned that Stereophile never gave bad reviews - and then when they hinted at mediocrity with a Bryston and Totem then they get slammed because the reviewer was less experienced or some other endless bunch of reasons for being unfair to the product.

No one goes out of their way to go after something. There is stuff I don't like - and I will tell you that on a forum - but I am not going to bring it in for review to go after it.

And really it depends what it is. If it is some small "who are they" companies and you dump on it you're not really doing anything since nobody is likely going to audition it. If it's a big maker from well known brands you will get attacked for being a hack reviewer. People only want the negative review if it is a negative review of something that they don't own.
