Why do people write mean things about musicians


i was just wondering why people write mean things about musicians on these forums. When you goggle artists-these gossip sessions come up and the artists record companies read these unprofessional and hurtful reviews and it ruins the companies belief in the artist. Why does this website allow that to happen?

I think I've pieced this puzzle together:

So Badbunnyr has responded to two of my other threads I've written in, and sent me 2 emails in one day (the same day he made this post) asking me about a post I made reviewing a bad Rachel Z concert (original post here).

The first thread is to about favorite jazz/rock hdcd's, and BadBunny's post can be read here (in short, it states that he/she likes the work of Rachel Z, especially her latest album "Grace").

The second thread is about our favorite female vocalists and bad bunny's post simply says "Dear m-you have no clue what you are talking about regarding anything about music..."

So given all these clues, and the TWO emails I got today about my original post on Rachel Z, I can only assume that Badbunnyr didn't like my original post. I wrote back an email, but just to make things clear: I wrote bad things about Rachel Z's performance (and her voice) because they were totally substandard in regards to both what I expect of the venue, and more generally in regards to what I like listening to. This site has a number of functions, and one is that it allows those of us who love music to exchange our ideas. I thought anyone possibly going to see Kenny Garrett should be forewarned that he had an opening act, and that the opening act was performing less than amazingly. I don't doubt that Rachel Z is an accomplished pianist, but I think her compositions, and especially her singing, are not things I really enjoy listening to. I doubt Chesky would drop her given only my opinions, and in general, anyone who would just read an opinion on a web site (and I tried to find mine through google, which proved difficult) and take it as gospel is a little suspect, and I like to think record companies don't operate on such simple and suspect business models. Any A & R reps care to chime in?
