The danger of leaving a negative review

[MikeJ36]

I dunno if this is the sort of thread that's discouraged on the site... if so, mods, please let me know.. I just felt it was something I had to get off my chest and see what others feel about it.

Much as I hated doing so, I left a fairly strong negative review for an escort recently. Considering that the reviews are public, I don't need to mention the escort in question by name, and you can all see it was one negative review in a sea of positive ones. As I said, I really didn't like doing it, but I felt it was warranted after the service (or lack thereof) which I received. I was a little surprised when I looked through her reviews before posting mine and saw so many positives, to be honest - considering the appointment I'd just had - although I did see a couple of negative ones which reflected my thoughts, and which there were none of the escorts own comments on.

Now I didn't think at the time of writing that it'd come back to bite me, but now I kinda wish I could delete the review as the escort in question basically commented on it suggesting that I didn't receive these services because I wasn't "CLEAN". Honestly, nothing could be further from the truth. I'm always quite particular about cleanliness and hygiene - plus it was fairly early in the day so - I wasn't even particularly sweaty. I just got nothing but a cold and empty/uninterested feeling from her from the very start and probably should have left much earlier (perhaps straight after I was refused a shower!).

I wouldn't call myself a seasoned punter by any means, but I certainly respect the ladies well enough to turn up when I say I will, well dressed and clean (all over), so this response surprised me to say the least. It struck me since that my writing a review like this could possible expose me to prejudice by other escorts who may scan through review historys and think "Oh, I don't want HIM calling to me" - especially if there's a credible reply from the escort in question saying that you weren't clean or hygenic... in fairness, who are other escorts or other people on the site going to believe.. the escort with the 99% thumbs up review record, or the part-time punter?

Her reply on the review came almost 2 weeks after I posted the review itself (which was less than an hour after the appointment), which also made me wonder if she even remembered me at all. It definitely would make me think twice about leaving a negative review again - no matter how deserved it may be. I'm just wondering what others think though... Do you avoid leaving a negative review? (go with a policy of "if you've nothing nice to say, say nothing..."?) Or maybe, I'm being overly paranoid?
