I mean, if one wants, on one's blog, to say, "Some critics have said xyz, and I'd like to address this particular issue here blah blah blah," that's one thing. But I don't see how any good can come of responding to specific reviews or reviewers. Bottom line: why would you want to DRAW ATTENTION to criticism?Sara Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11759783678042291757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-42728613937987329352009-06-30T13:38:15.520-04:002009-06-30T13:38:15.520-04:00I'm admittedly a dork, but I try not to read r...I'm admittedly a dork, but I try not to read reviews at all. My editor sends me the ones she thinks I need to read, but I don't seek them out. I'm still too new at this to be blasé and even praise makes me nervous.<br /><br />To my mind, Hoffman comes off as ego on crack. Surely Silman still has the right to be critical -- for which she is paid -- without being called a moron? And the phone number/email thing -- <i>yikes</i>. Ego. On. Crack. If she wanted to complain, she does have a blog, and she could have fired off her irritation there. I would be circumspect on my blog -- but that's me. A blog is allegedly your arena to speak your mind on your time with your rules. But not Twitter -- it's just too much like texting people, and you can't revise/edit/delete.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-26062204865259922262009-06-30T13:37:39.319-04:002009-06-30T13:37:39.319-04:00I think she was fine in criticizing the review/rev...I think she was fine in criticizing the review/reviewer, but she crossed the line when she publicly posted the reviewer's email addy and phone number. That's just insanity.<br /><br />The best part though is that she ran away with her tail between her legs... Deleted her account...
