Just finished reading an article on Destructoid that decries user feedback on video game reviews. While the article makes some strong points, I think the author may have taken his faux seriousness too far, descending dangerously close to the level that the folks he's criticizing reside on, which in turn runs the risk of alienating his more moderate fanbase. A little civility and dignity would have gone much further to prove his points than vicious verbal attacks and petty generalizations about the video game community; well, at least in my mind.
 
So here's the question(s), Giant Bombers: do you think professional reviews are more than "just opinion"? If so, how? Do you think user reviews are more trustworthy than professional ones? If so, why?
