Now i didn't want to say that
might as well say it as think it i suppose

It's bad enough in the traditional print media when unqualified " critics" pass judgement on your work whether it's music, books, cooking, hifi or whatever but the internet has given oxygen to some awful chancers who are only in it for the freebies. With no editor to keep their bias and "opinions" in check they can ruin a reputation quickly... which is ironic given their own grasp of reasoned critqué and indeed grammar.

I once met a girl who behaved like that - I love you, I hate you!!
I wouldn't say she was unqualified but I scarpered, anyway & forgot about the right of reply :)

As they say: "never stick your DAC in crazy". At least, I think the word is DAC...

BTW, just thought I'd say that James Darby, editor of Steremojo has taken down the review until he sorts the whole thing out.
The writer, Isaac Dehan never replied to my 3 emails where I explained to him his misunderstanding over charging!
Bad juju!!

That's certainly fair enough from the editor.

Even I could understand the method of charging,so how did a guy like Issac get the gig reviewing?
