Bad Review Threatened?

Should I feel guilty about a bad fake Google business review I wrote out of frustration?

  • My job is to cold call homes and businesses to qualify leads and drum up interest in solar energy systems, an admittedly terrible way to promote an extremely useful and legitimate product. I'm used to getting blown off by people, happens all the time, but for some reason one garden store manager or owner really pissed me off the way he acted on the phone. Still fuming about it, I wrote a review on Google saying that their customer service sucks and that no one should ever go there, and it's the only review on Google about this place. Anyone unfamiliar with the place would now be influenced by my fake review. On one hand, I feel guilty about doing this since the guy didn't actually do anything wrong, he was probably busy running his business and feeding his family. On the other hand, he was a complete prick with no professional courtesy toward a fellow businessman simply trying to forward him some information about a product that could help his company immensely. Am I just overthinking this or did I do something legitimately wrong?

  • Answer:

    HAHAHA at the "forgiveness" tree. That was really cute :] but I don't know what the guy said to you on the phone so I can't say if you were in the wrong or not.

That's like asking if it's wrong to kill a mosquito that bites you... Either you're defending your skin and body or you're killing another living thing that needs to eat too... everyone you ask is going to have a different answer. I say if you feel guilty, atone for it by buying a tree from them, and then plant it in your backyard as a "forgiveness tree"(haha). If not forget about it.
