I'm not a writer, and I've written a few unnecessarily cruel reviews in my day, so I'm on the other side of that divide. I'm also a reader, and whatever the sins of the Amazon reviewers who pushed Rice over that ledge, they paid $17+ for the privilege.
Some of then; I think the recent ones paid 7.99 or less for it (yes, yes, so I'm a pedant). I do reviews, but I admit that it's been a long time since I did a really snarky one -- because it's been a long time since I've had the time to finish something I detested enough to maim in that particular fashion.
Plus, umm, a lot of it is free, so the outrage at lost money and lost trees is less burning than it used to be.
