Bashing Businesses

I am always amazed when I read a reply post on this site that includes negative comments about specific businesses, often after praising another company. Unless the initial post was about a bad experiance with a company why do others feel the need to jump in and bash a company that provides services related to the topic. For instance, obviously some people on this site have a dislike for Tandy but the store that I visit is a great place to meet with other crafters, share ideas and the manager is extremely knowledgeable and always helpful, regardless if I purchase anything that day or not. Tandy is not the only company that I have recently seen unsought negative comments about recently. Lets try to remember what Mom always said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all". Constructive criticism and suggestions on what manufactures may help someone are always appreciated but can we stop the bashing.

I whole heartedly agree, not just here on the forum but in everywhere else too. My martial arts master once said to me, "it is okay not to be impressed by others so long as you are not only impressed by yourself." In my daily work, I deal with vendors bashing each other constantly and that usually ends my consideration of their offerings. I believe in respect, integrity, and choose to take my business where those values are a part of that company's DNA.

Tandy and some others primarily serve retail just like Weaver & W&C serve wholesale or trade only for the most part and they all have their place and their niche. When tradesmen deal with retail they should keep in mind who they are dealing with and the same goes for hobbyist dealing with wholesale or trade only. For tradesmen, tax certificates, business licenses, credit lines, minimum orders, etc are not gonna be an issue. For hobbyist paying retail, they want the best they can afford but not necessarily what the tradesman requires.

Just my .02
