I had an interesting, albeit brief, discussion yesterday regarding reviews with Hannah @ EPM. I didn't put this in my review because it wasn't relevant to the session, but I think it has some here. Hannah is completely fluent in English so there was no misunderstanding... she said to me, you write reviews (it was not a question). I said yes I do (she knew beforehand). I was like how do you know that? She said Lily told her. She said I am the 1st appt today, and her last appt is a well known reviewer too (she told me his handle and I know who he is but out of respect for privacy I will not mention at this time). She thought it was funny that she had a "review writer 1st and last appt of the day". I said to her, does reviews bother you? She said no, she never reads them, but doesn't care if anyone writes. I asked if management had an issue with it she said not at all. Then I asked her about the level of detail, and does that bother her or mgmt if it's detailed versus not detailed, since that is often a topic of disagreement on the boards. She said no. Now, I am only going on what she said, but I tend to believe her as that establishment is well reviewed and I'm certain that helps their business. But of course I agree with others... if an establishment explicitly asks for no reviews, we should honor that. Some businesses have higher levels of fear regarding reviews and the end of the day that is their right. If you must write a review, then you shouldn't go to these businesses if its a problem for you to be quiet. One other thing. Often times in these types of sessions we discuss some personal life details. We were in agreement, these are the kinds of things which shouldn't be put in reviews. Reviews should stick to looks/performance/personality... everyone enjoys their privacy and the focus of these boards should be to share relevant info to sessions, not allow others to build a profile about a provider's personal life or interests.
