LTSY,

You need to understand that it was your approach that was your undoing. Perhaps it was innocent enough but in 90% of your posts you trash a particular restaurant and manage to slip in a comment praising your new favorite restaurant. Take a step back and re-read all of your posts. We "seasoned" members have read these types of posts for years and 99.9% of the time we are correct in assuming that the poster has an agenda. It is usually found out that the person is some how related to the restaurant. Your posts fit a pattern. We have seen this pattern several times. Every thread you post to has a negative comment about a particular restaurant and then you manage to gush over an untried rookie establishment. One that has had PR problems with this forum by the way.

Let's start over. LovelyToSeeYou it is lovely to see you on this forum. Welcome and I hope you stick around to read and enjoy the forum. I sincerely do. Perhaps you could avoid mentioning your favorite restaurant in every single thread and you might actually be taken seriously. By all means you can start a new thread praising this place over and over again. You might not want to trash the other restaurants in that thread though. Go to the threads discussing those restaurants and leave your constructive criticism. You'll find that many owners read those threads and reply to the concerns of the posters. Again avoid mentioning your new favorite restaurant over and over again and you might come off as sincere.

Besides comparing restaurants isn't really all that fair in some circumstances as they all offer something different. Who the heck would want only one restaurant to choose from.

This is all just a bit of friendly advice. Take it or leave it but I hope you stay and enjoy the forum. It's nice to see new faces with varying opinions.

One other thing. It was your comment doubting that there was actually a line to get into the VK that really struck me. I'm not sure where you are from or when you have gone but every time I go to the VK for B-Fast there is a line out the door.
