Yesterday I found a private message in my Inbox from sweet.treat69. She expressed to me her concerns regarding the authenticity of her review. I had very little to work with, but still did my due diligence. It was a dead and the results were inconclusive.
I went ahead and shared my findings with her letting her know the review would stay and what her options were. If she chose to post a rebuttal, I told her what should not be a part of her rebuttal, and to keep things respectful. So as I am reading her well composed rebuttal I am thinking:

Then I continue reading and see lots of replies that really should not have been posted. I will tell you I am very appreciative of her following directions as opposed to going off and posting a fake alert. I don't know her nor have I ever had contact with her prior to yesterday. It could be that because my memories weren't polluted by any prior board events involving her, that I can see lots of positives from her post. Acknowledging her personal issues and shortcomings along with unprofessional behavior goes a long way. As time goes on, actions will speak louder than anything posted, but we all have to wait and see.
I am by no means endorsing her past or current behavior, board status or anything similar. I am however being a white knight to her in this thread. As a moderator, I would prefer ladies just let the NO reviews go and move on. When that is not an option, I want to strongly encourage all other providers to use sweet.treat69's rebuttal as a model to use when the need arises. She far surpassed my expectations with this thread. Have other providers done this before in similar fashion? Yes, but my suggestions didn't amount to jack back then. Maybe they still don't, but I'd like to think some of you listen to me now

Miss sweet.treat69, thank you for following protocol and exceeding the directions presented to you.
While no one has been out of line, I would ask my friends here, as a favor, not to bring personal issues with the OP to this thread. I obviously am uninformed regarding those issues, but this thread is not the medium to regurgitate old and ongoing conflicts. Personal experiences by hobbyists who have seen her are obviously welcome, encouraged and appreciated.
