Penny --

It could be that the Better Business Bureau is unresponsive to the
needs of consumers.

But consider, instead, the modest proposition that instead of the
world being full of incompetents in all levels of government and
business, that you are in fact an insufferable crank and snob.
Consider also that this is apparent to everyone who has had so much as
a glancing interaction with you. You elevate your own dicta to the
level of natural law, and then expect the world to conspire with you
to punish those who have given you a real, imagined, or confabulated
slight. Consider that this may not be even vaguely effective in
forcing people to agree with you.

Hope that helps,
