Mister Card's perennially favorite subject seems to be himself. Kevin was employed as a stepping stone for his sanctimonious exhortations.
I respectfully disagree with your comment. I have had the pleasure of reading many of WC's post over the years, and IMO, he has never came off as "sanctimonious", using your terminology. If you want to describe someone in that vein, I could name many others who might fit your description (some of them even post on other forums that you personally frequent), but I see no need in that, as it really does no good for anyone.
Even Christopher asked Kevin Blackwood what his motives were in writing a review on bj21, and although a little humorous, I found nothing objectional in his post.
As to your views on whether Kevin should or should not write this review, that's your prerogative, and I think that's fine. That's the one thing about bj21 - you are pretty much allowed to voice your opinion here (as long as you don't become a troll, in which case you can expect to be called out or ignored by others).
I have met Wildcard, and I can assure you, he's a good guy. He'd be the kind of person that you would enjoy having a drink with, and you would not find him to be sanctimonious at all.
Just interjecting a little comment here, and I hope you take it in the spirit with which it is offered.
