We all know that the Internet provides refuge to many cooks and pathetic. I take solace that they'd better do this that beat on their wives and kids or kick the dog.

But if Amazon is hoping to sell books based on "reviews" it should police it better. There is a way to post a negative comment without personally attacking the author - just like on DU...
