Ah, I see what you mean. I wouldn't be afraid to offend people, though, since we are all different in what we like. I know I have seen a "famous" indie reviewer give books I've read and reviewed a completely different review and a different number of stars, and it is always interesting to me to see who thinks what about the books I've read. I think honesty is so important, but I do think it should be done constructively rather than destructively. People can't argue with opinion (well, they do, but that's another story).
