What stops people from giving vengeful reviews?
Bias and bile are, alas, part of human nature. We are trying to hold back the chaos here at theaterreview by pruning reviews which contain obvious personal attacks. However, we are not psychoanalytical enough to be able to reliably tell a sincere, bad review from a biased, vengance-driven one. Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it is a grey area. If you see a review that is questionable, please let us know and we will review it.
