If you are worried about negative feedback, then maybe you should stop writing reviews. Eventually you are gonna get negative feedback for writing dishonest\sugarcoated reviews. The hobby is YMMV, so each person experience is different, but noticeable physical features are harder to sugarcoat.

Who says I write "dishonest/sugarcoated" reviews? The "truth" is that I haven't had even a so-so experience in the last three years. I do my homework, only see well-reviewed ladies, act like a gentleman and my reward has been a series of wonderful experiences, which I am happy to write about in a truthful and favorable manner. So none of my reviews are either "dishonest" or "sugarcoated." You must be thinking about someone else.
I agree that YMMV is a big factor, and for that reason, I omit some details that may not apply to others. It also means that if I have a middling experience, I would probably not report it. However, if I had a genuinely bad experience, I would report it, and hope that my good board reputation would protect me and the review from attacks.
Yet none of this takes away from my central point: If you post negative reviews there may be consequences and you should factor that into your decision making process.
