Can't We All Just get Along???

Well i guess i agree with most people here.
I just think that an honest yet respectful post is valuable to everyone. Even if you booked that vender already. It can only make sure you pick up on some weak areas others have noticed. Using FM to tell negative reviews isn't an answer.
And yes nobody is going to be wonderful to everybody. And anybody who doesn't understand that shouldn't be using this forum anyway.
Something interesting though....I don't think i have seen a bride or a newlywed bash a single vender yet, maybe it is just me. I have read a not so glorious reviews... but no bashing.

Sadly what i have seen is psycho brides cursing at others to defend their vender or vender to be. That, to me, is the saddest thing of all. And it has been those post that i have seen deleted.

I agree with those that said they want the honest truth. when someone asks for an opinion on a certain vendor, I often visit that thread to see what I can take away from it--good or bad. I might not even be using the same vendor, but if someone says I called to get a confirmation number when I ordered my dress, or my DJ was way too loud--these are things that I might not have thought of and will now address them with my vendor because it was brought to my attention. FM robs other brides of that.

Likewise, it's so frustrating when you do a search on a vendor and there's a thread from a long time ago...just when you're getting some great info, someone says FM--often the bride that FM'd is long-married and you can't find out what that bride was going to say. Plus, when you see FM, 9 times out of 10 you know it's going to be negative. It just makes everyone wonder.

All-positive posts don't do anyone any good. I think there is a way to post a negative experience without bashing.
