Ever encounter someone, or some point of view, where you can't even argue properly? You just stare and them and go 'but..but...and the...and...but...bleh!' Okay, perhaps that's just me. For instance, gay marriage. I don't understand why it *isn't* legal. People have told me why they don't believe it should be, but it doesn't compute with me somehow.

That's how I feel about the reviewing debate that brought me here. I can't comprehend why someone would feel they have the right to only receive positive reviews. I suppose I can understand it if they were posting their fiction on a private webpage, and you had to email them to review it, and there was no solicitation of comments. However, once a review button, or a 'feedback please' comment is introduced, to me that takes away the right to dictate what is said. Not because of free speech (which is a stupid argument on the internet) but because otherwise, aren't you basically saying 'Please tell me how much you love me', which is just all kinds of bad etiquette. I could go on about this at length, but I'd get worked up into a tizzy, so I'll just hush.

And go seek out more amusing people on the Internet. I am so useful.
