"Given your public status now, it's very important to get the message first before typing a response," the lawyer advised.

Kamau Isaac said:
"I can buy a set of non-stick sufurias for one of your followers to teach the furniture guy what we mean."
Chris Muhatia reacted:
"This man's response was so low! Considering the lady commented very positively, the lady didn't deserve such a reply."
Stanley Hope Kivuva commented:
"All things work together for good. Her business will grow significantly out of this. Whatever murage meant for evil will work for her good."

"Dolly Patron, sell your sufurias here for people to buy and follow your page for more orders. Turn the negativity into something useful."
