Shouldn't we do a deep introspection at ourselves before doing things that

Really look at ourself if it is not just anger, frustration or such other
"caustic" feeling?
Will our action REALLY help the concerned person? Or will it just give us a
futile feeling of satisfaction of pissing someone off...

My 2 cents? :))

I have to agree here. I am in retail, and it is very painful to hear unkind
things said about our service, our store, our employees, etc. However, I would
like to see the list used for more positive things and keep personal attacks off
of it. Everyone has a bad day. Some people have a bad year. We have simply told
customers that we think we have done what we can do and they will probably be
better served elsewhere. We have been wrong and we have been right. Right and
wrong is not the issue that affects people. It is the PERCEPTION of right and
wrong that gets them/us going.

Support a business that makes you feel good. And from the business side, it
seems you will never be able to do good enough. The last week's worth of posts
would attest to that. As a business, realize it or go do something that doesn't
involve directly taking other peoples money.
