I don't mean Liaden in particular, but books in general ... sometimes a reader dislikes a book, and has thought hard about it, and wants to share her thoughts. IMHO, they not only have the right to do that, but it's good for not only readers but books and writers when they do.
If the price of that is looking the other way so the cheap shots can get through, too ... that seems a reasonable price to pay. (Besides, readers have the right to take cheap shots at books, too, when it comes down to it.)
