Ignorance Is Bliss

"Searching for yourself is a bad idea"... at least, it is if a search engine is involved.

If you find a bad review of yourself, your works, your services, look the other way. Remember those four monkeys that see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil, and do no evil.
 
Not everyone knows about the crotch-shielding 4th monkey.

If you must employ someone to defend your reputation online, keep them on a very short leash, metaphorically speaking. Bad reviews can be hurtful, but it is best not to lash out even by proxy.

Karen Rubin, blogging for Thompson Hine LLP tells the edifying and amusing cautionary tale of a sensitive lawyer who --after his web consultant showed him a bad review-- doubled down and made matters much worse

There's a sting in the tale. One cannot make it up!

For a wise and sober list of Dos and Don'ts when ones feelings are wounded by online opprobrium, follow the counsel of legal
blogger  Terri Seligman who writes for the Frankfurt Kurnit Klein and Selz PC advertising law blog.

Finally, and apropos of nothing to do with reviews, but richly illustrative of the imagined ignorance of correspondents asking the EEOC about whether or not their boss behavior is inappropriate, legal blogger Robin Shea spoofs some Q&A about sexual harassment, discrimination and more.
