You seem to be fudging your numbers here a bit, BTW. Didn't complain
about this "good" review you got for a plugin:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/crucial-for-social-media?replies=1#post-

And this review of Oenology strikes me as a perfectly legitimate
review, though he does mention a particular support-related problem.
Which is *valid* in a review. Not everybody is going to be channeling
the ghost of Gene Siskel when writing reviews, man.
