Not sure how you can justify impugning reviewers' character based on 'wording' and 'timing'. That kind of illogical justification and dumbing down of the boards is but one reason why I have scaled back my interactions.
Both reviewers have a history of writing balanced reviews on this board (and in DB's case on another).........so KL's approach (giving them the benefit of doubt) is one that you could learn from.
To add to your "conspiracy theory," she has just received another timid review from josexxx on another board.
Furthermore, pm exchanges I've had with two other reviewers (another board) who gave her high marks included the caveat (to paraphrase): "She is highly ymmv; while we had a great time......see her at your own risk."
So I ask you once again to explain the reason why you don't buy their reviews......especially when her agency (TDL) has all but issued a Mea culpa on her behalf (on another board).
I respect your right to offer a dissenting opinion......but if you are gonna be so negative about it then do offer concrete reasons.
