Climate science isn't built on anecdotes and hearsay.

I have yet to see real hard proof of the long-standing Yelp shakedown allegations. Shouldn't one of these business owners have posted a recording of a phone call or meeting or something to the Web by now? Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard to find any, but GP is not unreasonable in asking for evidence.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan, JS is not exactly a model CEO, and they do sell hard. A tough sell, however, isn't illegal or fraudulent. a shakedown is something else though - are you suggesting they engage in any fraud? Do they manipulate reviews? Or do you have evidence that they, as a company, change reviews if you do/don't buy their ads?
