Why 2 star? I get the whole "forget about the 5 star reviews, because they're not going to tell you any of the downsides of the product," and "forget the 1 star reviews, because they're often unrelated complaints about shipping or delivery, and generally don't tell you much about the product." But, why not 3 star reviews?
I generally pay the most attention to 3 star reviews, because they tend to be pretty balanced and actually tell you the plusses and minuses of the product. It seems like 2 star reviews would be somewhat like that, but leaning toward the negative/critical side. Is the negative/critical feedback what you're after?
