Of Ulterior-Motived Enthusiasm
You know what’s funny. It’s when somebody is writing a promotional blurb, and they obviously don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.
The instance I’m thinking of is in the context of a mini-“review.” They go so far overboard on the flattering adjectives it’s downright comical. A typo in the groups name, facts askew, and referring to albums they’ve never heard as “stellar,” and being released “to acclaim.”
I just about split a seam laughing.
Oh well, don’t bite the hand that feeds you!

Perpetuating the untruth? Is that what you mean by not biting the hand that feeds you?

No, you rabble-rouser. What I meant was if somebody’s going out of their way to help you, don’t stab them in the back.

Purely from a by-stander’s standpoint, this is looking like fun! Guys, just don’t get too, um, hot.

You equate exposing truth to stabbing someone in the back. Hmm, I see. What about all the people that you implicitly mislead?
