I think this whole episode is a clear cut example of why guys are so reluctant to give negative reviews to anyone. Originally Posted by jan-wI disagree.

A reviewer's history as well as a provider's history comes into play when weighing the sides of the story. Their reactions as well. The OP handled her side VERY well! If she came on here and was rude, overly defensve or illiterate her rebuttle would not have been well received. But she was practical, grammatically correct and stated the facts from her point of view in a sincere way.
Just because she made a good case for herself doesn't mean the review system is flawed IMO. Its a good lesson for other ladies actually. If you disagree with a no review, this is the way to handle yourself.
Most of the time, no reviews stand and the lady's brand takes a nose dive if she attempts a rebuttle.
