Perhaps 'overly positive endorsement' is the right form of words....

Absolutely. Wolf Rider is an absolute pillar of the community. Above reproach. I would trust his judgement with my life, and that of my daughter's 4 year-old puppy (that came from an orphanage for one-eyed dogs)

Because Wolf Rider - and Bongodriver - are almost always right, and their posts have seldom been found to contain anything but the most carefully thought-out and morally just position.
