I think the concern raised by many is there has been a tendency for the most negative reviews of a restaurant to come from new posters. Many of which vilify the restaurant. Restaurants live off their reputation and few of us have our real names so we are all anonymous . I try to review all opinions on restaurants( look at trip advisor one review gives 1 and the next a 5 some on the same visit) and make a judgment on whether I want to go on not then form an opinion. This is a public forum and all have a right to express our views whether we have never posted or have posted thousands of times . If I had hair in my soup or lipstick on my mug I for one would bring it to the restaurant manager as it is tough for a restaurant to refute a serious charge especially if they don't know about it other than on an anonymous forum
