I know, and I'm not offended, believe me. And I've heard about the Vividcon vid crit--I didn't know that went on there, though I'm not surprised that it does.
I think something I haven't made clear, that I tried to in the most recent post, is that if people WANT to ask permission or inform writers of reviews, they can. I don't forbid that, I just don't care if people do or don't. I'm not going to demand it, and I certainly don't want to have to enforce it. Can you imagine the blow-up if I did demand it, and someone claimed to have followed the rules, but didn't? I don't want to be responsible for that. If people want to check with authors, they can. It's okay with me.
