I suspect that most authors don’t really want criticism, not even constructive criticism. They want straight-out, unabashed, unashamed, fulsome, informed, naked praise, arriving by the shipload every fifteen minutes or so. – Neil Gaiman

@InventingRealityEditingService: I agree. Same's true for filmmakers and more. It's always amusing to me how "People are entitled to their opinions and to speak their minds" goes out the window when there's a bad review. Sometimes the posts about the bad review(s) are better than what of the author(s) was/were being reviewed. 😄
