If we are, the blow back is huge.In a way, I related to that guy, although I think I'm an honest reviewer and don't try to stick people with my baggage.I did think though that there are some thoughts that are not really meant for the public.

"We hired some­one from the record indus­try, and we were aston­ished to learn that you could fuck over writ­ers in ways we never even imag­ined.
