Just remember, you're under no obligation to write a review. Golden rule that ####.
I, for one, would rather abstain from reviewing somebody than hurt somebody. I am surprised at how nonchalant people are about damaging businesses here, there and everywhere. It's very cutthroat and unnecessary when the alternative is just go to 7-11, grab a slurpee and enjoy your day instead of picking up your phone to destroy a little piece of somebody and their business.

Again, I really can't agree with your take. If that's your stance, then what the heck is the point of a review system? Either give a glowing review, or don't give one at all, even though you were dissatisfied with some stuff?
As a customer, it's the 3 star reviews that I really turn to and get the most value out of, because those are probably the more honest ones, and less of a chance that they are fake (good or bad).
