Reviewers should be judged too.

Let me ask here flat out:  Are you the kind of person who thinks movies shouldn't have cuss words even if it's Martin Scorsese making a film about gangsters or, well, Wall Street thugs?  Because that's what this kind of demand comes across as to me.  And I am not saying there should be cuss words in a review, just comparing censorship in movies to complaints about 'nasty reviews'.  Some of us here like irreverence in writing.  It makes for engaging reviews, especially when it concerns terrible albums.  And yes, such things do exist.  So please allow us to have our pleasure.  There are enough fanboys to talk up bands and write glowing reviews anyway.  Since they care so much about music unlike, apparently, the nasty ones, I am sure writing a baseless review calling it the BEST PROG ALBUM EVAH or some such superlative won't be too much trouble for them.

Excellent addition to my prog rock music collection.  Seconded, my eyes always trump my ears when it comes to music

I know (this is my point of view and thinking) they thought it would be pointless and make it worse as it obviously would bring a negative backlash to them. I can see why they would think such thing. Collabs make mistakes too, they should know better compared to a person who is a new member and wrote one single review with a real profile also is allowed to be overlooked in this case.  Referencing to what review? I am lost here.
