> **Summary**
>
> Here is a rather unpleasant Pit thread dealing with what sort of amounts to review bombing kind of. It’s a poster asserting that their opinions of a show they’ve never seen are more valid than other opinions offered by folks who have seen the show in question.
> 
> I have no opinion on the merits of either sides’ arguments. I merely bring it up as an example of what happens when “reviewers” have not experienced the thing they’re vehemently opinionating about.
