We're not going to agree on whether it's "right" or not to review stories without the author's permission; I maintain that it is, and why, in my most recent post. We're not going to agree on that, obviously. I also don't agree that archiving stories without permission is similar to talking about stories without permission--one infringes on an author's right to decide where her property is housed (a sort of stealing if done without permission, IMO) and the other is about people excercising their rights of free speech about anything that's been presented for public consumption. I don't think they're similar.
Not everyone has a problem with having their stories discussed; some love it and wish someone would do it for their stories, while others aren't thrilled by it but knows it comes with the territory and are grown-up about it. Those who get bent out of shape about it may not be doing the wise thing in putting their stories out there for public consumption. People have different limitations.
As I told Suela, and spoke of in my most recent post, I don't have any problem with anyone asking permission first or informing writers of a review if that's what they want to do. No one's stopping them. I'm not going to demand it because I don't think I should and because I don't want to have to enforce it, but if doing so would make people more comfortable, they certainly can. I'm just not interested in making it a rule.
