there are more people "ghosting" rather than posting here otherwise we'd be seeing a lot more JBRs. I can apprecate that some don't particularly want their opinions or experiences disputed or demeaned by comments like "whinger" "plonker" or told to "chill" "get a life" etc. There is no need for that in my book. Seems some don rose coloured glasses when it comes to Bali and feel the need to come out in defence of any negative comments.
It's takes time and thought to post a JBR and it beats me why anyone might think someone would lie about having a negative experience. Most holidays are anticipated and often require some sacrifice.
It's sad that people cannot accept that on the day, at a particular place in space that something was not good. I get too annoyed at the lack of acceptance displayed here at times and the slagging that goes on to participate as much as I used to. Now you understand why there isn't a JBR from everyone who posts here. Wouldn't it be nice if there was.
