User Reviews

I hate user reviews.

Especially on products that a person can easily use poor.

Like this. There's quite a few glowing 5-star reviews and then... 3 star and 2 star. I'm guessing they used it incorrectly and are now bitching about it, but a part of me can't help but think "What if they're being truthful and it sucks?"

Anyone else hate user reviews?

So my crundles are staying intact unless they're newly spawned... until they are exposed to anything that isn't at room temperature.  This mostly seems to mean blood, specifically, their own.  Then they go poof very quickly.

Incidentally, this is what I picture the OP looks like as he makes one of these RAGE post.

Not rage posts.

Just hatred towards things that are caused by human stupidity.

Like PETA.

I don't hate them. I just listen to them for a second opinion from an official reviewer. There's usually a lot of them, and I scan through the well written ones. If say, a lot of people consistently complain that the tshirt feels like plastic, it probably does. If it doesn't, then someone will correct them in another review. If they complain that it's too small, when they bought a "small" one but are 6 feet tall, I'll ignore that review.
