’’Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in North America, generally observed as an expression of gratitude.’’- Wikipedia.
Generally its a festival associated with large feasts, eating turkeys and some drinking. While I was getting ready to go on my vacation, a road trip with some friends to a nearby city for a party, I read some reviews on MS.com bashing some of the better reviewers here. Being a strong believer in freedom of speech, I’m not going to condemn those who bash some of MS’s prolific writers. However considering my past truant behavior in writing reviews, I decided to add my 2 cents this time, trying to be a voice of reason.
Yeah like Borowitz and my political guru Dubya, let me try to start the healing process between the 2 sides.
First, I asked myself a question what is a review? I would say it is like a film or any other work of art. While useful product information is given, yet most members take their time to pen their thoughts on a particular topic/product.
Like movies, many of them are good, some of them flops(Unlike Bollywood films). But people put in effort. So just don’t diss them. When I look back at some of my past reviews, its not the acme of reviews.(Not that I’ve become the Salinger of MS all of sudden).But hey I try to make it quick and painless.(For myself)
However its the reader’s prerogative to assign a rating based on the review’s content. Hence to condemn someone as a bad reviewer without proper reasoning is flawed. If you can write about a member belonging to the worst reviewer club, make sure its not purely opinionated or hold proper discussions with the members or RRC’ing all their reviews. Taking your anger out for personal reasons is childish. This is a open forum not a school playground, so use your regular ID.
Besides the 5 worst writers reviews has become a ground for venting ill feelings.
the only positive review I read was by matwalaboy. So check it out.
Now that I’ve given my sermon, let me get onto The 5 Best Reviewers.
Wow that’s another tough one. Cuz there are too many topics and too many great writers. Most important of all there are a gazillion awesome and not so awesome reviews for me to read and evaluate.
Therefore I am not going to name just 5 from my miniscule knowledge.
So here’s roll-call for all the writers who deserve The MS Medal of Honor for their high quality of work.

So as a humble request, Medal of Honor winners, like the President pardons the turkeys, please pardon these turkeys at MS.com. Of course, I maybe missing a few names. But then again I’m heading out, so I hope you’ll be forgiving ;)
Let the healing begin....
As usual drop the bouquets and brickbats in the comments.
Oh and BTW this is my ’25th’ review here.
