It seems as though there is one rule of conduct for face to face encounters and a different set of (or lack of) rules once a person is sat at a keyboard. I often see businesses respond to negative comments by asking why the person hadn't brought the issue to their attention at the time so that it might have been resolved? I think it's a really valid point and personally if I have an issue with a business I'd prefer to raise it with them privately and directly. I've been on the receiving end of unpleasant comments from anonymous keyboard warriors and I know how awful it can feel to an individual, let alone to a person who's livelihood depends on their business.

If the table was turned and the food and service was great, how many would go online and say so? People just can't be bothered. We definitely have forgotten to be kind. That's why I don't write bad reviews on my blog. If I don't like the product I've been sent I tell them and work something out. I don't rush to my blog and say how awful it was. Constructive criticism has it's place but some of the bad reviews I've read are pure sour grapes! #MMBCAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922568143111623696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781262356827554492.post-6313690592874417512018-03-05T13:32:17.696+00:002018-03-05T13:32:17.696+00:00I am oftened saddened and shamed by the brutality ...I am oftened saddened and shamed by the brutality that the internet brings out. I do think constructive criticism can be helpful but some people seem to travel the net looking for a place to attack. #MMBCCarol @Comfort Spring Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308702098757071897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781262356827554492.post-92095117901288812322018-03-05T13:00:23.559+00:002018-03-05T13:00:23.559+00:00I tend to agree that people "let loose" ...I tend to agree that people "let loose" a lot more on social media than in real life. However I also think that social media makes it easier to let the business know you had a bad experience without sharing it with everyone in the online world. <br /><br />Often people forget that you can have a bad day in business - just like you can in your day to day life. Maybe take a minute and send an actual message to the business through their Twitter DMs or FB messages. By letting a business know what was less than stellar, it gives them the opportunity to use your experience to better themselves and/or their business. Just avoid "sharing" it in a negative way publicly so it blows up in everyone's face!<br />~Jess<br />#MMBCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291297826145052266noreply@blogger.com
