Hi,
the reassignment might be more than Chris would want to get involved
in, but not the emails between the reviewer and the cringing victim.
All it requires from the evil sadist is a form letter along the lines
of "I've been assigned to review your photo in this month's PUG. What
do you hope to learn from the review? What were your intentions in
taking the photograh? What do you hope to do with the photo? My
preferred style of review is to [ tell the world you're an idiot and to
recommend you never to pick up a camera again / promote you as a new
Leonardo da Vinci even though this is your first roll of film / show
off my knowledge of Art and disregard your photo entirely ]"
The photographer then replies "Get thee behind me, Satan / Give it to me
straight, big boy / Be gentle with me, lovebuns" (or all 3 if it's a
Saturday night, and not necessarily in that order).
