Gojack10 : Reviewer or Trasher?

[boccaccio2000g]

Has anyone else noticed that a person calling himself/herself Gojack10 wrote a couple of dozen very short reviews yesterday -- giving ridiculously low marks to some of the best writers and most popular stories on this site, including Jessica Verdi, Slave Ruthie, Viddler and many others?

If that makes you feel important or powerful, Gojack, how nice for you.

But what it really does is make you look spiteful and ignorant.

And guess what? you just gave him attention. Ignore the fucker..he'll disappear as fast as he appeared.

I'm reminded of what in New York they call the "Broken Window effect", (something like that.)

If you ignore vandals they think they can move in. I'll bet GoJack has smashed a few windows in his time. He's probably doing something destructive (to himself or others) right now.

or he'll just get bored of doing it and then fuck off.

Amazingly, I just responded to one of Gojack10's reviews just prior to my seeing this thread. While it is true that his (or her's) review is the lowest score I've yet to receive, I did not take it for a deliberate attempt to trash my work, but as an actual opinion of someone who didn't really like my story.
As an author who posts on this site, I have made the conscious descision to allow others the right to speak their mind about my stories, good or bad. I've been pleased so far with most opinions of what I write, but I'll take one bad review if it means I can read the numerous good ones I've received, not to mention the e-mails.
In other words, chin up and keep on writing. the opinion of one reviewer will not make or break any of us.

While I do not agree with this gojack guy for giving artifitially low marks.

This system does have a tendiscy to giving reviews way to high for what it realy is.

I have posted some reviews and generaly give a 8-9 or 10,

I dont think I have given or seen a review of a 1 or 2 -5 for that matter.

I think reviews are a little biased to the positive.
But if a reviewer gives a mediocer review he may get flamed or worse the auther may stop writing and we never get to hear about the raise of lue chang.
