I have been having gripes about using yelp for a while now. Firstly bc I found out that you can BUY your standing in the search results, and that the filters they use to filter out "fake" reviews does not work. In addition to all the people who think they are food writers, writing these pages long reviews about how they even came to find out about the business/restaurant before they even start discussing the food. Oh yeah, and most of the highly rated places are crap.
Now I have been receiving messages from people who are clearly TROLLS! (I only leave very good reviews or very bad reviews. There's no point in leaving a review of a place that was just ok.) So now I have gotten messages from people who don't seem like they are affiliated with the company sending me rude and snarky messages about my reviews. Why are you taking the time to argue with a complete stranger about a subject that is totally subjective! Have you got too much time on your hands? This is what one person sent me after I left a 2 star review for the Lime Truck (the boys that won the food truck competition on Food Network):
"Then go to a sit down restraunt. The point of food trucks is to eat outside, FROM A TRUCK, not in a building w chairs and walls and a ceiling"
I responded, "Thanks for confirming my point. If I want to pay $10 for a two bite appetizer, I would just go to an actual sit down restaurant where I can be comfortable and get better food. You must have a lot of time on your hands to message a complete stranger about a business that you don't have any affiliation with."
He came back with:
"You're the a**hole w too much time on your hands. All you yelpers are big mouth punks."
Why is he on yelp then? No reviews. Nothing to add to the community. Just a TROLL.
