Anyone who uses the phrase, "Now, I'm no Holmes purist" in a review of anything Sherlock Holmes is about to completely lose their shit over some perceived crime against Conan Doyle, Holmes, the readers, or humanity committed by the work reviewed.

EVERYTHING ruins Holmes forever. Parody and humor ruin Holmes forever. The gay ruins Holmes forever. Making Holmes a villain ruins him forever. The only thing that apparently doesn't ruin Holmes forever is unbearably shitty writing.
