\"yelp\"At any given time, there is no shortage of topics for me to write about. However, there are certain triggers that motivate me to my keyboard. One of those triggers is any business owner who thinks they are so smart that they want to sue someone into silence for expressing legitimate negative opinions and negative feedback. They trigger the infamous Streisand Effect<\/a> and I do my small part to ensure it remains alive and well.<\/p>\n

I am certainly not a person or business owner who likes negative opinions or negative feedback written about me or my business but I absolutely know that the ABSOLUTE DUMBEST thing to do with negative feedback issues is to use a “non-disparagement” clause as a basis to sue an unhappy customer regarding negative Yelp feedback.<\/p>\n

It appears the Internet has gleefully rewarded “Prestigious Pets” of Dallas, Texas<\/a> with free negative publicity from various news stories like the Dallas Morning News,<\/a> Fox News<\/a>, and The Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n
