IMO, the OP is makes a complaint and in the same breath, not giving specifics of whom the poor experience is with. State who the Coffee providers are and why you were disappointed. You don't have to drag their name through the mud but, you can mention who they are, if the pics are old, or the person is 10 plus years older than the pics suggest and or, the SP is heavier than what they state.

It's fair feedback without being insulting.

As for the ladies of this board, I would say from the vast majority, they represent themselves very well. No white knight, no flower rimmed glasses.

Anika, Dylan, Natalia, Payton have all been better than advertised. Pics and coffee.

I have mentioned a couple of BP exploits that didn't go well, and had another member chime in and express a completely different experience.

Was my experience accurate? Was I trying to warn fellow coffee connoisseurs? Or was I just jilted and wanting to negatively affect the coffee provider's business? I believe it was accurate and I'm sure the other member was accurate as well. Two different people. Completely different opinions.

For me, this board does provide a joint community service to both coffee houses and those that enjoy coffee. Not everyone likes Timmies, some even hate it. Others are McDs while others go to Starbucks or Second cup etc.

They hang a shingle, serve their best brew. Some feedback is valuable. Others is not.

I find the quality of information here much better than other places were you have no idea if things are fact or fiction.
