Mr. Woodward . . it isn't our job to dissect and interpret what you write.  It isn't up to us to make you feel okay about writing whatever you want to write . . or to grant you impunity when you put it out there to be read.  By going to your site we have no implied obligation to respect your opinion . . only your right to have one.  

The comments made in response to your review had been polite, nothing that would normally warrant defensive rebuttals off your own website.  The fact that you did respond negates your contention that you don't care what anyone thinks of your review,  and your protestations seem to imply that you do realize that your remarks came off a bit more like bully pulpit trashing than critical writing. 

As a sidenote:  I have to wonder how you would deal with the onslaught you would get from some other fan bases for a similar piece.  If this is your chosen career path then it might behoove you to cultivate a thicker skin.  Just a thought.
