I saved my response to your review until the end as I can't be silent anymore about the way you go about your reviewing.Look up the word "earn" in a Thesaurus and it says,"Deserve merit","Be entitled to" and "Be worthy of".The way that you are going about this reviewing is so totally condescending,it's not funny.There are a few others that feel the same way as myself.I don't know where you came up with this "Form and Wording" for reviewing but in all honesty,it's an insult.I have used the breakdown method that FAR has in their rules before and that's only when I haven't been well and when I had a broken wrist and I could not type well.Not anymore though because I see the effects.
Sorry but this just had to be addressed.

I am very sorry that you feel this way. I have never, nor do I now, ever intend to be condescending. My reviews are meant to address specific aspects of the work being reviewed in a way that is consistent. I then offer additional thoughts relative to the work. Please accept my apologies for the unintended offense I have caused you. Feel free to excercise your right to squelch me to prevent future reviews you find offensive.

No,I don't squelch people except those who believe themselves to be better than the reincarnation of one of the Masters.I will suggest however rather than using the word "earning" you find a kinder word.I never involve myself or my time in the forums but you may want to read the section on reviewing and what others are saying.

I understand your opinion and I did check out the forum even though I have never done so before. While I respect that there are a few that do not like the numeric rating, I feel that since it is a requirement that the site forces us to rate based on a star system, I feel it is helpful to offer insight as to how I arrive at my rating.
It is not like I do not also offer additional text to further explain my thoughts on an image or art work. I see about 10 people out of the HUNDREDS on this site that have an issue with the way myself and many others rate. Until or unless the site renders a ruling that this is not allowed AND changes the numeric rating system, I will continue to do what I do. I also get a lot more than 10 people thank me for the reviews and opinions I offer and the way I provide it.
Thank you for your input and, again, I am sorry that you are one of the relatively few that have a problem with the way I review work on FAR...
Adam
