In praise of opinionated reviews
zridling:
Here's a thought. Why not — once a year — consider highly opinionated reviews?
For example, we could have each fanboy of a software app, OS, webware, etc. (within a software category) compose a highly favorable review designed to convince others to try it, and to sway your point of view. In a way, we've done this many times with several types of software — browsers, renamers, archive utilities, and file managers under the 'general software discussion' forum. It would be fun for those who would participate, would strip the veneer of objectivity from the review, and could be cathartic to say the least.
TucknDar:
Aren't all reviews rather opinionated?
justice:
Personally, I associate fanboy reviews with deluded or unbalanced reviews, i don't think this should be confused with opinionated? You can write an opinionated balanced fair review.
zridling:
Perhaps, but they don't necessarily try to be. This type of review would favor partiality over impartiality.
Merida:
At least fanboys do know the favoured application very well.
