Please note: this is NOT a complaint, and I grovel with gratitude that you've been paying my reviews attention. But I confess I'm baffled

Here's the thing: I've created an accolade about film musicals based on other media - books, plays, other films. There are ten in my list. All my reviews deliberaterly follow a pattern, framed as though they were movie poster taglines. One of these reviews has been approved, and so far five have been rejected, despite following the exact same pattern. They're all factually correct, and I've provided an explanation of what I'm doing in the extra info box.

Okay, the reviews aren't punny or funny, but there are plenty like that around. None is over 4 words. So,can someone please tell me why these are being rejected.

NOT A COMPLAINT.
TIA from one BaffledBabe

You can sob on our shoulders anytime Tori.
Hope all goes well.

I have a wet shoulder anyway, thefoxgirl has been crying on my shoulder for the last 3 months and today is going to be horrible.
A non smoker, riddled with cancer.
The family has been called in for a Hospital bed side meeting to find out the options he has and decide the future of thefoxgirl's dad.



Oh, that's obscene and no one should have to bear such a burden. Be good to each other and know you have our love.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, foxy. Please tell ms. fox that I'll be keeping her and her father in mind.

Love, best wishes, and our thoughts are with both Foxboy and Tori.

Hope the solution is one that helps thefoxgirl manage. You know that all of our thoughts are with you both and your extended family.

Tori, love, no apologies to ANYONE with a double whammy of two major traumas: moving, child's health.

My good thoughts are with you and I'm sure all MERPS/benj and everyone joins me.






I'm a grown up; I know better than to behave like I did.

It occurred to me that perhaps you weren't functioning 100% because of caring for the baby and your toddler. I am saddened to hear that the news is worse.

There's a line from a poem in Old English that I always think of when things are going badly. It translates like this--"That passed, so will this....". I hope things improve very soon Tori, especially for your little boy.

Nope, Sean, you still hold the position as the FWFR resident 'bad boy'.

Tone is always a problem in short fourum posts. Sean has explained it well. Our brains work in different ways and if Tori first thought of "Fiddler", fine. It just doesn't affect the validity of the review.

Sorry Tori if you (or anyone else) mistook my observation as a criticism.
