Am I a keyboard warrior ?

Some of my very best and most eloquent thoughts are at my fingertips !

I recently had a trip away. It was not cheap. I was disappointed with the awful food, which to me, is important when you are on holiday.
The actual accommodation itself was good in parts but not so much in others. It was warm and cosy but not overly clean.
If it had cost less money I would not have felt the same but because of the price I felt expected better.
The thing is.. I was happy to pay that amount. I was confident it would all be lovely. I anticipated a certain level of service and they failed to deliver.

I reviewed it on TripAdvisor. I did not slaughter them by any means. I pointed out what they could do to improve.

Does this make me a bully, or is reviewing an establishment negatively 'par for the course' ?

I’m a bit of a bugger like that 😉

@AZFell

Ideally, we would be able yo read your review so we can see how harsh you may have been in your wording... considering the mix-up between "crucified" and "cremated" in this thread, I can't help but wonder if you might have got anything mixed up in your review too which can affect the meaning or tone.
No, in an ideal world maybe yes, but 'Mumsnet' is not an ideal world. Far from it judging by some of the replies here

You sound a bit cross op.

WorraLiberty · 07/01/2022 14:17

Will Judas leave it out?

Noah way.

OP did someone say that leaving a bad review makes you a keyboard warrior or a bully?

Not understanding why you are asking us this unless either you think it does or someone has said that it does.

theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:20

I’m not sure i am abel to.

Feliana · 07/01/2022 14:21

Let's not resurrect this thorny issue.

FortVictoria · 07/01/2022 14:25

I am laughing so much at the last few posts! Thank you for bringing some cheer!

OP - you’re not a bully for giving a negative review. That was your experience - it’s perfectly okay for you to say so.

WorraLiberty · 07/01/2022 14:31

Well there's no point in being Solomon sad about it.

batmanladybird · 07/01/2022 14:36

🤣

Op have you written any other reviews recently?

theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:38

Surely you mean Magdalen(e) worra ?

theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:39

But you probably don’t give Adam either way. 😘

CeleriacOfTheNight · 07/01/2022 14:41

Oh Jesus Grin please say you didn't use crucified instead of cremated in the actual review?

WorraLiberty · 07/01/2022 14:42

@theNumbersStation

But you probably don’t give Adam either way. 😘
You nailed it! Wink
theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:43

If they did, then I suspect it would have put a few moses out of joint.

CeleriacOfTheNight · 07/01/2022 14:46

These puns are making me arf.

Turning out to be a Good Friday.

OP what was their policy on tablets at the dinner table? All ok or did they ask you to leave them on top of the mountain?

theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:53

I bet the proprietors are still samaritan from the bad review.

They’ll be Babeling on about it for donkeys.

CeleriacOfTheNight · 07/01/2022 14:55

They could always Gethsemane fake positive reviews to balance it back out

ferneytorro · 07/01/2022 14:55

I think you may be misunderstanding what a keyboard warrior is.

theNumbersStation · 07/01/2022 14:56

Then they’ll be asking Hosead that.

Some folks just like a good wine, with Mary a thought about the effect it might have on an honest innkeeper's reputation.
