I agree, as well. I hired someone from because of very positive reviews here, and they did not live up to the reviews...like, at all. I didn't find any negative reviews on this person, but I didn't post one either. I didn't not leave a negative review because I was being kind, but rather because I wasn't up for blowback...So, I guess I'm part of the problem and I'm grateful to people who are willing to share their experiences (knowing that it will start an avalanche of responses).
