I agree with Nate. It's odd how you dismiss any critics as 'trolls,' and only believe that people who compliment your efforts are 'legitimate readers.' As an author and public speaker I know that I get the most value from people who critique my work because they help me to improve. Sure, being slapped on the back feels good, but having someone point out my mistakes helps me to fix them.

They may not have all been delivered with tact, but I mean, you are on FD, what did you expect? I think some valid points are brought up about your credentials and your process.

While it might be amusing it's a waste of our time, and our readers time. We will continue to write reviews and will continue to be as honest and truthful as possible during our reviews. Likewise, if any of our legitimate readers have any questions or comments about our blog, we'd very much appreciate them. We especially want people to comment if they have worked with a vendor that we have assessed, we want to know your experience. Other than that, thanks for your time and thanks for reading!
