you bring up a good point about the scrutiny - on some level i do agree, but i really feel like that should come from people who know & care about you in real life - not people who "think" they know you online. really, how much can you know someone from only reading their blog? but LOL at your comment about angelina jolie :)

LOL llg - i agree with your statement about the other commenter. i just need to repeat what i said before, i really think that the FTC guidelines and attack on product review bloggers is all a "made up" issue, and started when some mommy blogger got her panties in a bunch....

you know, people keep throwing out there that print journalists return EVERY sample...really? i don't believe that, but i'm very cynical. i mean, what about beauty products? print journalists and magazines DO NOT distinguish very well between what's advertising and what's strictly editorial - there is no editorial! look through any magazine, you'll see the print ads that are clearly ads, then in nearly every feature or editorial, you'll see a product or two mentioned from those companies who are advertising. is that ethical? what is it?

i don't know...i write my 100% honest opinion about everything and sometimes i receive products for free to review. so maybe i'm not to be taken seriously...

LOL - i don't think i would post just random dislikes here and there, i only post negatives if they're "rants" (i'm really disappointed) or if i think there are enough people out there who would be interested...

thanks martin - i do think a balance is important - i don't want to only hear negatives, but i don't want to only hear positives either.

i totally understand the not wanting to give them any press part - that's why i don't mention chick downtown at all - ever - anymore. i used to have a disclaimer whenever i mentioned them that there had been some bad CS experiences, but recently decided to just not mention them at all.  sometimes i regret that i don't have the info. more readily available, but then i feel like for long enough, i had that information on there, so if someone does a search, they'll find it - i do think that knowing where NOT to shop and what NOT to buy is as important as where and what to buy...

thanks so much for your comment!  i totally agree with you, i follow a blog because i feel a connection to the blogger - i want to be "friends" with them on twitter and on their blog, i love to get to know them, follow their lives, etc. - it's the connection that matters imo
