Too many names start with a "B" around here and I screwed up. I removed the above reference to your name Boccaccio. I appologize.

Your review kind of blended in with another that said something very similar. (ie I didn't care for the subject matter.) Now I know there are plenty of gray areas and you might not know that you will not care for the subject until you read it, but I still feel that if you don't like 'fetish' 'tg' fill in the blank stories . . .and it is coded appropriately . . . and you are going to grade/review the author down on it, you probably shouldn't review.

If I were a new author submitting my first story, I wouldn't rather not get a review at all, than get panned by someone who wouldn't like the story no matter what I did, due to the genre.

I also differ with you regarding reviews. A review from a critic who hates westerns about a western would be of no use to me if I liked westerns.

On the other hand, if the critic liked westerns and he/she found one they didn't like. . .there's a good chance I probably won't like it either.
