| All, We need honest reviews if we are to rely on LT. When you have taken LT recommendations to heart and then had a bad experience due to others reluctance to speak ill, where does that leave us? We need a degree of candor, tempered with respect for the individual/ service being reviewed.

I agree with you Pat. Keep it short. The reality is that some people in this town feel compelled to tell their version of events complete with all the dirty details. Most of the service industry workers who are being reviewed are not privileged enough to live in Lincoln so we are not privy to their version on Lincoln Talk.
Respect, Carolyn Ryan
I love the recommendations and use them often. The middle road is usually the best, and no stars please- not enough info. One or two short sentences are very helpful and give enough information, followed up with offer to respond to questions.

I am asking if all the details were a necessity as opposed to just saying “I don’t” recommend “. Perhaps a star rating system would be more neighborly.

This place is for both bad and good reviews. This is not the first bad review which was by far not slanderous and yes you are right you were emotional which obviously affected your view on the review. As others said there was nothing wrong with the opinion from one poster. And I for one am glad it was left
Dear Neighbors,
As a follow up to the emotional yet slanderous review posted yesterday about a pet sitter, I wonder if there is a protocol on LT to protect gig workers from this sort of attack? Gig workers are not professionals as someone suggested. They do not have insurance and typically do not ask for a deposit when agreeing to set aside time for the requested task. They are at the whim of the individuals who request their services which could be cancelled without compensation . Posting reviews without sorted details seems more neighborly. By all means include your contact info if willing to take the time to give another neighbor a review of your experience . Neighbors what do you think?
Respect, Carolyn Ryan
