I'm going to get straight to the point here -- Does the contributor really deserve all of this elitist criticism? I know some people might ... more
Ok slowly making my through the thread, so excuse me for posting the other things, just catching up on the conversation

I was involved in both of the mentioned reviews, and the last thing I want is for someone to think I'm thinking I'm "elite" or better than anyone. My rank is only 6, for crying out loud!

I do take her comments as an attack, hence the harsh comment of mine about 4th grade English. I was quite offended, but since reading through this thread I have realized that it was and will never be my place to say such things to someone, especially new. I can't say it would have offended me because I look for constructive criticism always on my reviews. I actually get more offended if I don't get feedback on them.

That being said, I will watch my comments to new reviewers and take their feelings more into account. It just bothers me when I see others trying to help this person out and, IMO, she attacked first. I know that is a pretty immature statement- "she did it first!" but I felt the need to defend the other reviewers who commented, because I feel like they are my friends and I don't appreciate people being rude.

Again, slowly making my way through this thread, so sorry if the above posts of mine seem rude...

Sounds good to me! Sorry I was pretty late on this, I have noted things and will work harder to be more positive and less public!

I guess I live in a glass house just like everyone else, so I'll keep my stones to myself

I think a good rule of thumb, in a public situation that requires concrit, like a review, is to avoid repeating a criticism. If you see that someone else has mentioned grammar, for example, leave it out of your own comment.

I really try not to post rude comments. When I don't find the review useful, I vote, and then I simply thank the person for writing it, and that's all.
