I hindsight I probably shouldn’t be responding to this thread now…

Ducks falls from the ceiling. It is unfortunate but this is often true. How does one fix / prevent / get around this? Not sue but I "THINK" the answer has been successfully applied by certain companies "INVOLVED" in the community. I say think as my experience in this regard is pretty limited to here on S-B. Just a couple examples of places that can weather a negative blurb rather swimmingly are SWE and M&Ds. Cases where something's wrong are extremely rare and usually zero fault of the shop but a fully supportive and RATIONAL response from levelheaded members of the community (and level headed responses from the shops themselves) puts a positive light on doing business with that place. A legitimate turning of a negative into a positive...
