How can a critic force his opinion on others? I'm picturing
Russell James at a cosy convention, waving an Uzi around and
shouting things like "doom-laden" and "pessimistic", and "it
may have humour".
Seriously, I thought it was accepted that when a critic
writes something judgemental it is just opinion.
