If the site isnt that great, focus on other stuff, unique features, but dont put a crap review there because the truth needs to be out there. Noones gonna be happy with that. Its not some kinda policital issue, its a game where both parties have to gain.
So is the lady from Topbucks wrong when she wrote earlier that even bad reviews still sell sites?

That apart, the reason for writing crappy reviews is a) even if it doesn't work, to attempt to steer your readers away from them and b) without crappy reviews (since there are crappy sites) your reviews would have a much harder time being seen as credible.
