This seems a little unfair to me. Personally I really like the idea, but I feel the implementation is lacking. That's my opinion, am I not allowed to express it, giving reasons why?

These are hardly "Youtube-quality comments". Clearly you've not been on youtube for a bit.

I don't think he's talking about everyone's comments. There are a few snarky comments in this thread that are totally unproductive.

I looked at my own "A is for Actuary" comment, and even that looks a little mean now. I meant it in a humorous way, personally I like the fact that he had the courage and creativity to write/draw a book for his kids that is relevant to his world, and the world of others.

You were nitpicking about the analogies the author used. Which is usually the kind of arguments that elitists make when they refuse to agree with an opponents point of view.

I think most of us can see things we would have done differently - just as I think most of us can see things that we do like about the book as well. But arguing about the intricacies of an analogy that is aimed at children strikes me as unfair.

Which was the point the former poster was making. We're not saying that you're not allowed to have an opinion nor a right to express it. Just that some of the perceived negativity (and I say that because your comment - intentional or not - does read negatively) comes across as pointless nitpicking.
