Esp those products/vendors who have a lot of positive reviews. Like I said in an earlier post, I did not review a certain bully stick I thought smelled terrible bc everyone else loved it so much, I was afraid to. I think we all as a community here need to truthfully review the products here positive or negative (tactfully and without bashing) to hear all sides of it.
I assume a popular product is good unless I hear otherwise. Sometimes the reason why a person did not like a certain product may be helpful to me too. What good would the reviewing section be if it was just all positive reviews? |
I appreciate all reviews good and bad, as I too find them helpful in evaluating a vendor. However, I don't think because others have had good experiences and those that don't, offer any more or less validity to positive reviews. And, that is how the sentence is read. In fact, if I read 250 positive reviews and only one or two negative reviews my first thought is those with negative reviews perhaps didn't understand exactly what they were getting, either didn't read instructions, didn't understand the operation of a products or something like that, not that those leaving positives reviews may have been less than honest (if we are talking about reviews in general). This thread is about a specific vendor and I'm sure Nancy is aware of the very long thread discussing ISB products here, and should have known her post about their honesty could have offended some that have given positive reviews.
