This is why it is crucial to have a list of shops and people's experience with them. If you state what happened, coldly and objectively, then is cannot be slander or libelous - only facts. This type of reporting will only help some other poor soul from getting taken for a lot of money. I think it is part of the capitalist system - ferreting out the good from the bad. If reporting bad experiences really makes people nervous - then let us use the old adage: "if you don't have any thing good to say about someone don't say anything at all." That way the bad shops will have NO history, a fact that will speak very loudly to the person looking for a local shop to do some work for them. Furthermore, under the system if a peson has an occassional bad experience (hey, we all make mistakes) then there will still be data for that shop from people's good experiences. Doing it this way, in my experience - I have nothing to say about any of the local shops I've tried in NW Ohio. bem (mostly does his own work now - cheaper and better) |
