There's a marked difference between character assassination and relating
one's own experiences with regard to vendors, as one's experiences are
seldom unique, and others adding their voice with similar stories serves as
a great map for other collectors new to the hobby who might want to find
their way through the vendor minefield without losing a limb or two. It's
word-of-mouth, and has been an accepted, tried, tested, honoured and true
leveller in the marketplace since the first batch of dates swapped owners in
the pre-biblical marketplace. It's possible to do all that without getting
personal though. Just the facts, ma'am, will do.
I've seen people recommend vendors here too, so it cuts both ways.
