"We" arent ruining his life. HE ruined his life.

Eh, I disagree in this case.

BYUCougarsFan

I doubt his "life is ruined". His day? Month? Year? Possibly

He might lose his job, have to move somewhere else. But it's not him I feed bad

No, this ain't murder, but it is sort of a death threat

Well who is we? If BYU fans are doing those things, that's pathetic. "We"

Threats are definitely out of line. I don't know where I stand on leaving

If he had a solo practice, the bad reviews might not be so bad, but they're now

Byron McNertney

Bad reviews are uncalled for UNLESS you are a client with an experience.

But what if you clearly say that this is not a review of the services but of the

I wonder how the yewt fans would react if the targeting was in the rivalry game

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

10/24/19 12:37pm

Pretty much the same. Verbally attacking a player is vulgar behavior regardless

The Notorious JIC

10/24/19 12:47pm

I'm doubting "equally" but I think most sane yewts wouldn't tolerate stupidity

Sorry but I don't believe this for a second.

I do.

They would condemn it but then justify it because BYU is the dirtiest team...

Now that I've seen the actual play that triggered it, it's even more insane.

I agree, mostly. I think it's a bit far to say he brought "whatever" response

In today’s social media world, you simply have to be smart especially if

The lack of integrity is what will most likely lead to his being fired as it

What evidence do you have that a BYU fan has posted negative reviews?

Your hypocrisy makes it hard to understand what you are writing.
