I didn't think she was trying to re-define criticism. Not to speak for people, but it seemed that she was saying she enjoyed reading that particular critique despite the fact that she disagreed with some points. That specific part of her response seemed to be about whether or not she appreciated the post, not questioning whether or not it fit your flowery description of criticism.

Okay, yeah, you were just axing for that.

Mary Anne knows I love her! There was a time, a long time ago, when she & I were the only two people who adored Christine McVie. It has become fashionable of late to love Chris, but Mary Anne & I carried the banner long before it was fashionable, when we were kicked in the face for ever daring to suggest that Chris was the heart & soul of her band.

I'm REALLY worried about my new sig banner -- it's inappropriate in a way that probably flouts the FAQ. So I will probably have to edit it out or something. But I just had this weird compulsion to post it.

Edit: Forget it. I chickened out.

I certainly didn't take offense at your post, David. Yes, I remember when we were the only two Chris fans on here(plus Christian...remember him?). I also remember when you defended Christine against Phil.(remember him?)

Well, Thanks for all the input. I don't think I need to change anything about my review right now. I didn't botch anything about the band's back history, did I?
The Epinions royalty system hasn't gotten me anywhere (I've received $3.98 from writing 41 reviews, but you can't actually redeem anything until you've reached $10 .), but it keeps me from getting writers block.

Speaking of which, I have a couple more reviews in my queue that I really should work on...
