How to destroy a reputation

This is an angry post. More for venting than for anything else.

But how do you deal with horrible contractors, inspectors, and city officials. I mean these guys have messed up my rehabs and cost me thousands and weeks of lost time.

I want to just tell them to leave and not pay them. I want to just flame them all over social media and reviews. I want to sue them.

BUT. I also don't want these lowlifes who know where my properties are to come in and vandalize anything or steal stuff, or break exterior windows and walls. Cause lets be honest, a lot of people these days will do horrible things to you or your stuff if you piss them off.

Do you guys just take the hit, suck up your losses, and let them off easy where they can potentially rip off other people?

Or do you fight with them and take the risk something bad happens to your place.

Rant over...kind of
