No good review goes unpunished
Not many people checks my profile these days, not so strange considering i hardly post these days on any of shows forums, but i guess that eventually i will, and you will read this, obviously you are, otherwise you couldn't read this. 
Anyway i just wrote a review, which i tend to do when something is really worth reviewing, so after i submitted it i saw all my reviews listed, and if people agree/disagree, and even though it's to be expected, i was kinda surprised about that.
Like 95% of the "agrees" are on shows/episodes/people that i wrote something positive about, and 95% of the "disagrees" were on the ones where i was either negative, or had both good and bad things to say. Now while most reviews are read by people who like that show/person, and thus don't like it when people trash it, i'm still surprised about some of the outcomes, i pretty much only review things i like, as i'm not about watching things i don't like, but every show has it's weak episodes, and i know i'm not the only 1, if i take a look at a episode i reviewed from Two and a Half Men then i see 3 of the 4 reviews being negative, yet the majority of the people disagreed with the reviews.
And it's not just with that show, it's with most shows, kinda makes you wonder wether only idiots read reviews, or it's just the idiots pushing the agree or disagree button.
It's a real shame imo, i write reviews not just to voice my opinion, but to also give people a insight, wether they are new people to a show, or regular viewers, and with idiots running around just disagreeing with every negative, and agreeing with every positive without thinking about what is being said, ruins it for new people, because they will just disregard honest reviews thinking it's just a review to bash a show/person, and instead read a poor review from a person who just loves every single thing a show or person does, wether it was good or bad.
Anyway i hope you all have a happy newyear, and enjoy watching your shows, just don't forget to get away from the TV from time to time.
