I agree with NoQuito, Polkstrett, and Aikan. Beautiful review, immense group.

Know-it-all, go to the polkstreet page and read all of its comments. A few targeted reviewers (one in particular) and one to whom he always gives 5 stars. Then come back and tell me what you think of this genius.

So, poor fool, do you realize how transparent your behavior is?

PolkStreet, get lost. You also smell disgusting, probably because it comes from that ugly face of yours. Sorry for the French, but I wanted to avoid being too direct.

Socrates, it's not about getting locked up, it's about feeling pity. While I was on lunch break, this guy who probably is him himself went into two of my posts that were among the favorites, all rated 5. Well, with the same nickname he had used in previous days. Go check with that nickname, in the days before, who he had given 5s to in a row. Anyway, he must have his own things to do, at least with mine. I believe there were more than twenty posts with all 5s (the users on De Baser have been very kind to odradek). Now I'm going to make myself a coffee and get back to more serious matters. Bye, Soc.

I'm not daring to name names and I want to give him the chance to deny it and perhaps even act indignant, since I have no proof. It could be that he now lets some time pass before reappearing with some 4s or 3s among those that have at least twenty flawless 5s. But the pathology is one of those that become obsessive: either he wants to "get revenge" or hopes that by cancelling the others and maybe a few of his own pages, he can eventually climb higher. It happened to me months ago with a review of Cassandra Wilson: there had been about twenty votes, all 5, so the page was among the top favorites. In the end, an user shows up, never to return with that username, makes a "paraliterary" rant about the album, drops a 4, and disappears forever. Strange, right? A passing user who only authenticates for this and then abandons? Well, in the end, they're just kids.

To the gentleman above, who in recent times has taken on different names and has given 4s and 3s to many of my reviews, those of Hal, Socrates, etc., all averaging 5, all present for a long time, all among the most liked on the site. However, with another nickname, he has given many 5s to various reviews by another user. Naturally, he will deny it, but the game, despite leaving a few days between each petty annoyance and despite using different nicknames, has been happening recently and right after some exchanges of opinions in certain reviews. Too many coincidences, it seems to me. And it's strange that different nicknames visit my little pages after a year and decide to judge them as even beautiful and then give a 3, don’t you think? I'm willing to give all the 5s he needs, if he at least has the guts to come forward with his "original" nickname. I don’t know, I especially feel sorry for this one and that of Harry Partch: being among the favorites, they were in fact an extra opportunity for visibility for these two not too "well-known" authors. But given the trend that DeBaser has taken for some time now, perhaps it’s for the best. The foam is increasing exponentially...

Well, I guess you find this amusing. I think your little game is rather pathetic, as I've noticed, under different aliases, you've done it with many of the pages that were among the most liked by Debaser users, including at least 4 of mine. I also know who you are, since under other disguises you've played the same game on another one of mine, and then filled all of one particular user's pages with 5s. Don't even try to deny it; I don’t believe you. The fact remains that there's no comparison, let me tell you. You can lower all the averages you want, but you won't be able to raise the level of style and sense in your works and those of your little snack buddies. In fact, if you point them out to me, I'll give some 5s to the ones you want, so at least you'll have a bit of satisfaction. You've lost even before starting this game. I repeat, don't put on a show; no one believes you.

Do you have many cars?

Beautiful lines, beautiful images. A pleasure. I’ll look for it.
