Yeah. Everyone has their own opinion, but lay off on the reviewers, and post your own reviews if you disagree. Instead of being immature. I can see how someone might get upset with reviews of <i>their</i> sketches, but why do people feel they should give reviews of someone else's reviews? We're not a group of aspiring dramaturgists or movie critics.

And guess what? You will write sketches that other people hate. I guarantee it. But this is not a one-shot deal. You can submit another sketch next week and redeem yourself. Maybe this time you'll have learned something from the constructive criticism you received last week. (Note: <i>constructive criticism.</i> Meaning "This is stupid" is not sufficient.)

Comedy, as a genre, is not for the faint of heart. You can't take sketch reviews as a personal attack. On the Internet, you can't even take personal attacks too seriously; it's too easy to do to someone you'll never meet face-to-face. And by posting something on the Internet, you open it up to criticism. You don't have to agree with it, just don't be an ass about it.
