Dear RB,
You've recently been posting comments critical of punters on Disney's profile. I find this very questionable ethically for the following reasons:
It is firstly questionable to be raising your own profile by commenting on a competitor's paid profile. You start off by saying you are "sorry" to be posting on her profile, but I doubt you asked her permission. You could have called her, WhatsApp'ed her, or DMed her to raise your concerns with her and ask her permission to respond. I sent her a WhatsApp to let her know punters were complaining about her non-responsiveness to their attempts to book, and she has been online in the meantime and chosen not to respond, nor did she respond to me personally. She did respond to the issue of her language skills previously, so perhaps you should have given her the agency to decide for herself whether or not to respond. Maybe she made a conscious decision not to respond, and you have actually undermined that decision!
You also are somewhat hypocritical in posting on her profile your objections to what some were posting under her review comments. You complained that their comments belonged in the general discussion forum, which is, by your own admonition to them not to pollute her profile, where your comments also belonged. If you were concerned that the punters who offended you might not read what you posted in the general discussion forum, you could have sent them DMs.
Finally, you complained that the comments made could hurt her business, yet you have not stopped to think that your own comments could do so as well: perhaps she preferred to not respond, and your own aggressive responses ("shame on ALL of YOU", "POLLUTING her profile", "It would be awesome if the "punters" were held to the same rules as the Advertisers when it comes to comments and posts and have their comments removed if NOT relevant and applicable to the forum category posted on" could also hurt her business. There has been, in my view, an increasing tendency on your part to express views that are denigrating towards punters, and the advertiser in question might not want to be associated, even indirectly, with the 'brand' you have created here.
I have observed, over the years, that when posters on various social media are aware, at least at a subconscious level, that what they are posting is in some way 'wrong', they often make spelling or grammatical errors, subconsciously advertising that the poster is, at best, conflicted about what they are writing. Reread your last paragraph; is this really your usual standard of writing? And signing "Written in good faith"??? To me, that screams the opposite, much as the phrase "to tell you the truth" does.

Sorry for the diversion. but @Natalie quickly balance us, what's up with these skurwe voete and the guy licking them clean? Maybe there's a punter willing to do a barter and bang for a booking in return for a foot file and foot scrub?
