This is how I feel, too, but there seems to be a clash of cultures here between that represented by me, you, and most of the people who have expressed opinions on LJ, and that of the commenters on Reddit. I'm not sure what to do about it.
I may attempt a compromise (which, of course, may satisfy no one). I don't think I have been doing anything wrong, and I'm not going to change existing posts. Going forward, though, I may stop writing up the fics that I don't like at all while continuing to write mixed reviews in addition to the wholly positive ones. Primarily negative reviews are the least fun to write, anyway. (It won't represent that big a change. I don't actually finish most fics I don't like, and I don't generally write up fics that I don't finish.)
