As a "newbie" in tV and on this wonderful site, I've been impressed at how quickly a negative experience, real, imagined, provoked or even possibly fabricated by competitors (I cringe at this last one) can cause panic or unfair press for a merchant, including our own developer. We've all felt we've been treated unfairly at one time in our lives or another, and I guess even well-meaning people dealing with the public can "lose it" when provoked, but the amount of damage angry talk can generate can literally achieve geometric proportions on a site such as this.

I do believe that there are plenty of real scams out there affecting our residents, and this is a great place to share for mutual defense and welfare, but we all need to be cognizant of how powerful a cybermedium such as this can be and use it judiciously.
