Greetings from Amazon.com.

I can certainly understand your frustration in the way that our review guidelines have been brought to your attention. The wording of these two messages do seem to contradict themselves. In the original message that you brought up, we were simply recommending that you not use conclusive statements, and that you review the title itself, not attempt to declare that the information provided is wrong, or discredit the author. Then, in your most recent review, you again list your opinions on why the information provided is incorrect, simply restated instead with "in my opinion", and other terms to this effect. Now, although this is an improvement, your review still does not address the subject matter in the book, nor does it offer a reader any reason why they should or should not read this book, other than your personal opinions that you disagree with the content.

We certainly do not "censor" or remove negative reviews, but we do create guidelines of what is acceptable for a review to be posted on our web site. If you write a review within our guidelines, whether it is negative or positive, we will post it. Had this review been in the same form, but reflecting the item in a positive light, it still would not meet our guidelines, and would have been removed.
