You rate a game based on how you, the author of the review, feel about it. If you think a game is great, say its great. If you think a game sucks ass, say it sucks ass.

And I have not contradicted or argued with anything you say in the above quotes. Yes, even FATAL has admirers. And I have no problem with her saying that the game sucks ass if she so chooses.
The problem - that is being ignored in favor of accussations on me being "specious" - is that while Style ratings are and must be completely subjective, Substance ratings must include a certain objective element. No matter how much I love/hate any given game, the substance to it has at least some objective benchmarks. The reviewer complains at the breadth of the system in proportion to the shallowness of the setting. That's fine; say BE sucks ass. But to suggest that the substance of the product is low while simultaneously talking about it's working systems for every issue is wrong. Knowingly wrong. And that is deceitful.
