But excuse me, I believe that a reviewer (or however one wants to define them) should be free to write as they please about any work they choose (unless, of course, they glorify Nazism or advocate for mass extermination).. and the reviewer knows (or should know) that what they write can: 1) be very pleasing 2) be very terrible 3) have various shades between 1) and 2); 4) leave others indifferent..
And those who comment must (or should know) that 1) their opinion is completely shared by other users 2) their opinion finds no resonance with other users 3) the various shades between 1) and 2); 4) leave others entirely indifferent..
In short, are the real problems the star ratings? I am relatively new around here, so perhaps the following proposal has already been discussed: let’s eliminate votes on reviews (not on comments)..
