Re: Is Underground Uprising Objective?



Grant,

How can you honestly sit there and say that the credibility of Underground 
Uprising is at stake?  Anyone who submits a review gets it posted on the site.  
There's tons of reviews on UU that provide a wealth of information and I think 
that's the main purpose of UU.  If UU starts moderating the reviews then will 
they get accused of having an agenda?  They are providing a service and whether 
you agree or not with everything on the site is completely up to you.  Reviews 
for one show shouldn't cause the entire site's reputation to be questioned.

Chas

p.s.  No disrepsect intended against you.
