I'm always suspicious of a first time poster who singles out a business for lavish praise......or angry criticism. Usually they have some special interest such as a good friend or family member is the owner and they want to help them out with a free ad. On the other hand,it's not unreasonable to suspect that a when a business gets trashed by a first time poster, that it could be the same situation except that they are trying to take out a competitor. Also notice that when you call them on it they reply with righteous indignation.......that anyone would ever even THINK of such a thing.
I'd never suggest that people shouldn't post good and bad reviews.....they are helpful and interesting and the forum members are very fair and forgiving............it's just that I take them mores seriously when someone has made a few other posts and has a bit of a track record.
