…for how to do it right. That's the very best way to say something else is wrong: demonstrate how you think it ought to be done. Roger Ebert has an excellent book called "Your Movie Sucks," it contains nothing but zero, one-half, and one star reviews. It's an excellent book because it shows the challenge of writing something more informative and/or entertaining than "Your Movie Sucks." And of course, Roger has to write those reviews, because it's his job to review movies as they're released. Bloggers are under no such pressure, they can write what they choose, when they choose. Therefore, I hold bloggers to an even higher standard of writing "Lookit! _____ sucks!!" Since bloggers have the option of saying nothing, they shouldn't say anything unless it is worthy of being read.
