Just a vent, if you'll please bear with me. I have been getting beat up over at amazon where I do a lot of reviews. In the last two days, I have gotten about six or eight new negative votes on various reviews. I think it stems from recent posts related to homeschooling, as I have never posted to the amazon homeschool forum before this week, and suddenly I have all these negatives, and a snarky comment on my review for "The Well Adjusted Child". The woman who left that comment also reviewed the book, and she is a homeschooler, thus it's probable that she takes exception to the gifted label and has decided to become my personal troll.
I'm really a decent person, and I only leave negative comments or click that a review was unhelpful if it was way out of line or didn't provide any information on the item being reviewed. I just don't understand the mentality behind attacks like this. What kind of person enjoys this kind of petty power trip?
Thanks for listening. I use my real name at amazon, if anyone wants to read my reviews and tell me if they really stink!
