So, having now read what she wrote, I have to say, I still get why a writer wouldn't want to look over someones manuscript that gave you a bad review, unless the person happens to have reviewed other of your books with varying degree.
It is an embarressment to both the writer and the reviewer. I mean, if you were highly critical of a particular writers work, then why would you trust them to say something positive about your book.
That said, the entire tone of the article was off. Yes, if all you leave review wise is negative reviews, then it goes without saying that authors aren't going to want to add a tag to your book. But if you review based on actual content, then you should have some good reviews in there.
