Our Winter From Hell continues into spring with Betsy and the boys all having flu, and me with a new sore throat and ear canal pain. Oy.
I spent most of yesterday dealing with a brouhaha at the review site, where one of the more self-important reviewers decided that two of my reviews (out of probably 200 at this point) didn't meet his criteria, despite the fact that not one reader, nor any of the editors who approve the reviews, had complained. He really went ballistic when I had the audacity to answer his complaints in the public reviewers' forum where he had posted them, and also for challenging an out and out factual error he had posted (not to mention his spelling errors, but that was just for fun on my part
).
This guy, who writes the most bloated, ridiculously lengthy reviews I have ever read, and who prides himself on being part of some society of critics that only allows membership based on number of words per review, deserves to be taken down a peg or two, so I am thinking of developing a website entitled: (Insert Critic's Name Here)IsTheMostBloatedGasbagofallTime.com. I think that has a certain ring to it, don't y'all?
On a slightly related topic--has anyone else gotten around to "Hit the Deck" in the new MGM set? The soundtrack is awful, IMHO--something is definitely wrong. I need to do some research on this.
