Recently I ran accross an unflattering review of a lady (B) I've seen off and on for 7+ years (obviously, I like her).  In addition to being attracted to her physical appearance and age, I particularly like the fact that *B* is smart and in control of her situation.  I have had conversations with her that have allowed me to see certain limited aspects of her business and personal lives and to come away with what I believe to be a balanced perspective of her personality.  Sharp lady!

So what do you do as a hobbiest when a provider you like is unfairly reviewed by another hobbiest (whose posts have a history of being unflattering, no less)?  She is not extensively reviewed - a consequence of *her* concern for privacy and security I assume.  I am concerned that this "off the wall" review will harm her financially and potentially cause her to leave the area (actually, I just found her after years of looking for her - after she left the area once before).  This "Sausagehead" criticized her age (which he got wrong by 7-10 years), her appearance (which is top shelf) and her attitude (which centers on client's satisfaction) all because *he* violated some of her rules of contact and potentially caused her embarrasment and/or trouble - to which she apparantly reacted accordingly.

My dilemma is this - should I post what would (obviously) be a strongly favorable review despite her apparant dislike of reviews in order to "balance out" the bad review, or do I let an inaccurate review potentially chase her away (again)?

Ladies, I am particulary interested in your opinions.
