Reply to Re: Why the DUCK was my review rejected? Legit pissed right now.

I rejected it, and in retrospect I did it in just about the worst way possible. I'm sorry, Skull.
I liked just about all of your review, truth be told. It just felt like the intro and conclusion didn't fit the rest of the review - the bits like "Malachi the Jerk is probably the best D-Mod released in the last four or five years" and "one of the most polished, innovative, different and overall best Quest-sized D-Mods available" didn't seem to jive with the score and the rest of the review. The score did feel appropriate in comparison to your Initiation review, but didn't align with the rest of your reviews, particularly when you gave Star Dink, STAR DINK, STAR DINK!!, a not-too-good-at-all D-Mod, an 8.7 score. 8.4 just didn't feel right. Your Star Dink review was from several years ago, but still!
So I marked it as rejected, and I had some inkling that it would surprise you someday, which is why I added the date on the front of my comment. What I should have done was either start a new forum topic or write you a PM to let you know my concerns. I didn't mean to take it off of the site forever; I was hoping you would update it to qualify some of your comments (even just saying something like "I can see why some people would think it is one of the most polished, etc").
I've seen that I acted in error, though, and the review is available again. It is one of the best reviews of a quest-sized D-Mod available, I'd give it an 8.4
