But the reviews I really hate are the one- or two-star reviews from people who have never tried the recipe but have a grudge against an ingredient--say, Bisquick or Splenda for example--or don't think the recipe is "authentic," whatever that means.
I might as well follow you around the board, tonight, Choco!

Again, I'm in total accord with you and your thoughts. LOVED the comment : "I KNOW it looks good; that's why I'm looking at it!" Bwahahahahahaaaa! Good one!
I also hate the fake reviews with a low rating where some health nut busts some baker's chops for using butter, cream, sugar,food colouring or nutmeg. Yes, nutmeg is apparently "eeevil" because that 1/8th of a teaspoon can apparently turn a sane person
INSANE with all kinds of crazy ideas because it's a "mild intoxicant". (hope they never pass a high school alley with all the dope in the air!)

WHEN have you ever seen a no-fat, vegan recipe invaded by the "Calorie Police" and write: "Are you kidding me? Who eats this swill? Eat some fat, for crying out loud and enjoy life!" King Arthur's website attracts the nut-jobs over and over again. As a food product company, just like Kraft or McCormick's, they have the absolute right to post the use of a product or two in their recipes. Yet, you'll get these people going postal on K.A., bullying them with "WHY do you always post products that I have to buy from your website?" Gee, I don't know, perhaps it's because that's how they make their income???????? What a bunch of nobs, as my husband would say!
