You can't control what people write about you but you can always control how you react. A couple weeks ago here in my small city a local business owner was brutally reviewed on Facebook after he yelled at customers in his restaurant. The event would have been overlooked and he'd have only lost a few customers except his mistake was broadcast to the whole community through his poor service. The result? He learnt his behavior needed to be corrected and his business will be better for it, and his public apology was well received by the whole community. I don't think you can ask for a better outcome.
