Of course, I'm not "in her head" as the saying goes, nor do I know her personally, so I can only guess what she was thinking. Personally, I appreciated her suggestion and gave my own input to this thread, i.e. I look at recent posts by new posters (and old, as a matter of fact, if their usually positive posts seem to have taken a turn to the nasty side) and decide if I think their posts have merit.
At any rate, I'm rambling, and I still think you need to calm down a bit. 'Nuff said, it's just my opinion.
AND, has anyone ever noticed that this is one of the most contentious threads on this forum? Where someone can post their opinion on a restaurant and get attacked for voicing their opinion?

WB, PG already apologized for that post.
I think it is important for all of us to read our posts a second time before hitting submit, whether it is a rant about a restaurant, about speed limits etc. It is easy to hide behind computers and the anonimity of the 'net.
As it has already been said above- one poor review will not stop me from checking a place out but a bunch will, I always look at post counts, and I usually check past posts when a negative review is posted. Please be cognizant that resaurants live and die by their reputation and reviews. Try to be fair and not only post the bad that you experience but also the good. It seems to be human nature to talk about the bad more than the good.
Happy eating!
