I'm getting sick of TV.com

So, you remember me talking about getting a reprimand for posting a review of the show Reaper on TV.com? My review was deleted because I based it on an episode that hasn't been aired on TV yet. Strange... All the other reviews that are based on "the promotional version of the pilot" are still there, only mine was deleted. I'm hard pressed not to take it personally.
And obviously, some group of people is now targeting one of my favorite shows - Psych. In the past, I noticed that someone was drastically lowering the ratings of various shows on TV.com - Army Wives to name one (in a matter of a days, it went from 8.00 to 6.00 per episode). Now the same thing is happening to Psych. Written reviews are good to excellent, but the ratings are still around 7.00 only. Psych is NOT everybody's cup of tea but if they don't like it, they shouldn't watch it nor give it a bad rep. I'm not trolling the forums of Lost or Prison Break either, even though I don't like these shows.
This reminds me of one of the reviewers on Amazon who gave Supernatural one star less because it was a horror show... Err, right. I know that I mentioned this already but I think I still don't get it. Why would anyone watch a horror show and then give it a worse rating BECAUSE it's a horror show? *scratches head* And I don't believe that they didn't know that it was a horror series. Come on! It's called SUPERNATURAL for pete's sake!
And they canceled Painkiller Jane *sigh* It was a good show. I was watching it because the idea was good, Rob Stewart played one of the main characters and it had some strong femslash subtext. So yeah, good bye, Jane. Rest in peace.
