> I think user ratings/reviews on drug sites may be biased toward the extremes, because you have to care enough to take the time to post. I also think with the negative reviews you are getting both people who are venting their frustration to the world and people who are sharing out of a desire to help others, while with the positive reviews, perhaps you are only getting the latter, so maybe that's why there are fewer positive reviews.
Clarification -- I didn't mean to imply either/or on the venting vs. sharing out of a desire to help others. On a discussion site such as this one, folks can vent while sharing. I was talking about the simple ratings/reviews sites, where you will get some reviews that say "hate this drug, don't take it" without giving any reason, and that is simply venting, no information shared.
