Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a little dissapointed in the authors rambling writing style, and I was very dissapointed at how religion-centric a lot of his view points came from, but that's not why I'm writing this review right now. I'm writing because I'm absolutely horrified at what great lengths the authors friends and family have gone to attack any and all negative critisisms of this book. These aren't intelligent counter arguments, those could be appreciated and expanded on, they're downright mean spirited personal attacks. When someone accused the author of being a mooch, the family responded by dogpiling the reviewer, desperately attacking them personally to invalidate their opinion. That line of reasoning went something like, "You're just jealous because Ted is so great and you're so [insert random insult here]." And that attack line was used by several different people, all friends and family of the author. Good Christians, indeed. Look, I get that people want to defend their friends and family. And I'll even conceed that there are counter arguments that can be made to the critisisms. But responses should be made in a calm, logical manner using insight and reasoning. Knee-jerk responses that amount to little more than blurting out, "Yeah, well, you're a jerk!" invalidate your response and make you look childish. Edit: It looks like the majority of the 5-star reviews are from this same band of friends and family.
