RE: Borderland and O. Deus
By Hbasm

The arguing between reviewers and readers will never stop. From a readers perspective, it feels unfair that reviewers get more than average attention when they layout their personal opinion. From the reviewers perspective, their extra efforts to flesh out their thoughts are dismissed by the readers.

O. Deus is the official, regular reviewer on Trekweb and that makes his opinion carry more weight, simply because more people will notice it. It also makes him represent this community, much to the dissatisfaction of those people who disagree with him.

I think we are also easily angered because Star Trek is currently in a weak position and could easily fall. We don't want this to happen (at least I don't). We love ENT and we are sensitive to those who spread a negative opinion about our beloved show. Yes, opinions do "spread", otherwise there would be no point in talking about them.

Moreover, sometimes people attack O. Deus (and others) because he displays his opinion as if "this is THE truth" rather than "this is MY opinion".
