Reviews are a little hazy. A guy can give a lady a "no" because he didn't connect with her. Then there are some that will either give a "yes" to keep from getting bullied or threatened by the lady or her goons, or not write a review at all. A single "no" in one hundred "yes" reviews shouldn't sway anyone. Originally Posted by Danielle ReidI agree, one no in that many yes reviews wouldn't sway me at all, unless there was something particularly egregious in the ROS and even then I'd seek to understand the other side of the story before taking it into account.

I wish there were another choice such as "not for me" but sweet enough.

It's easy, really, and I wish more people would take advantage of that.

I've always thought that Yes or No was just a little too much like Pass or Fail in college. If they meet minimum requirements they get a Yes. And sometimes minimum requirements can be pretty minimal.

(I wrote a review that had one word that wasn't approved by the provider)I suppose this is a jab at me (perhaps among others) since you think I'm in this 'kliq' based on providers I'm friendly with that you don't care for.
Oh, us other girls gets picked on to by the goons too.
If your not in the kliq you get picked on and they try to run you off.
That's one of the reasons I don't ask for reviews.
I would never harass you or have somebody pick on you for saying something they didn't like.
I often thought that the provider would write the review for the person and say just post what I want you to say. JMO Originally Posted by Sandy

Of 34 reviews, 77% of them are of providers who aren't the ones you consider to be the 'kliq', all of them good reviews. Yeah, really sounds like I'm trying to run them off.
And, if you suppose anyone writes my reviews but me, you could not be more wrong, as anyone who reads my ROS can attest since I have a very distinctive writing style.
Whatever your beef with me, I stand by each and every one of my reviews as my own work and an accurate representation of what occurred and my own thoughts about them. Originally Posted by SpankyJ
