   I have never seen a business with this low a rating on Yelp and spend way too much time on Yelp.

   I always have trouble trusting a seller/merchant/company who's reviews are 100% good. Means something's not quite right with them, there's something they're hiding, or something bad is going to happen to said entity when their "secret" jumps out of the closet and commits arson...
   
   Just saying, a couple bad reviews just means you've been around long enough to piss off somebody. Good for you! (Who cares?) Keep doing what you're doing as long as people are willing to pay you for it.

   After having read the yelp reviews, I must put an addendum to my previous statement:
   
   If you're pissing off everybody, stop doing what you're doing.

   That's epic alright. I love the letter that company sent the one guy saying he was a druggy. That's true libel.

   I wonder if this is another case of the sunglasses guy using bad reviews to get google juice.

   Well there a difference between "100% good" and 95% bad reviews... The only good reviews were by the first 3 people, all gave 5 stars, around christmas 2009, and all have reviewed no more than 10 other businesses to date. kinda suspicious...
   
   Also this whole thing is barely post-worthy since it was just a guy emailing a threat.. there was no actual filing, and the actual email looks like it was copy and pasted from a 16 year old and edited by an 8 year old.

   Summary:
   - Owner refuses to respond to customer
   - Owner is withholding customer's property
   - Owner is threatening to sue for negative Yelp reviews
   - Supposed contract states "and/or Anything other than a positive basic Review (anywhere in any form)"
   - Owner appears to be posting fake positive Yelp reviews
   - Website links to Digg and looks like it was made on Geocities. Epic indeed.

    There seems to be more to it then everyone thinks. You might want to reconsider as to who is the villain and who is the victim. Merchants beware of the extortionist and saboteurs on Yelp.com. Its called Astro-turfing and Extortion.
    
    I think a few of the posters on this Page might be the same guy. If you look at them pointing out and doubting the 5 stars yet you don't doubt or mention the fact that all the Negative reviews are posted on the same day. Isn't that fishee? What many people don;t know is that Astro-turfing is illegal theses days. And extortion can land you in jail other than posting false reviews about your competitor on websites. The whole world is being effected by these fake Profiles. If I owned a sight I would have the Members verify themselves with a credit card to keep out multiple false Profiles from being made and catching the criminal if they commit something. Its just too easy to launch a web attack these days... If the company was crooked they be out of business or in jail by now. I shouldn't have to say that, you shouldn't believe everything you read.

    Who posted the comment? The owner or the reviewer? Is the druggy statement true? why do you assume or suggest that it's false? If the owner posted the comment on the review site and it's a fact, then it's not libel.
