You left your review and said your piece, the part that I consider "nonsense" is that you seem to want to repeat what happened ad nauseam. It seems like you won't be happy unless the entire forum is dedicated to bashing the business. No website that has any sort of review section will allow one user to take over and bash a business over a single bad experience. You've said your piece, what else are you expecting me to do about it? I have no say in how the business is ran or how it advertises. I informed the owner about your post, if he wants to come comment or change the poster that's on him. If you are really that upset about it and feel you have been cheated or a crime has been committed hire a lawyer and file a case so that you can get your 40 pesos for the juice back.

Calling the owner "Mr. Obnoxious" is most certainly a personal attack. We can all get caught up in emotions and resort to this from time to time especially when we feel we've been wronged, which is why I have issued no warning points to you. But now you are making it a point to continue with the personal attacks and I have asked you, and anyone else in this conversation, to please stop attacking other people (members or not).

I understand you had a bad experience at the bar and want to share it with others. I have no problem with that but I'm not going to allow a single person's experience (good or bad) to completely take over the forum.

BTW: freejuicefor.me is a valid and open domain name, feel free to purchase it ($8.99/year) and use it to bash whoever/whatever you like.....but it won't continue here.

 

Happy holidays to you too. Thanks for dropping in to the forum again! Hope the new year goes well for you.

 

I used to frequent a bar that had this same problem. The manager had to threaten that they would lose their jobs if they didn't stop the gossip about the customers.

I have seen this complete lack of respect in other aspects of bars/restos as well. I was once in a bar I frequent with a friend having drinks. The employees there know me well but they didn't know my friend, at least not by name. I happened to be talking to the owner at the side of the bar where the receipts were kept and I noticed a tab that was made out to "Tambok" (this is equivalent to "fatty" for those that don't know). Looking around the bar I noticed there was only one person who this could possibly be for (since the bar will only start tabs for well off/known Filipinos and foreigners).....it was for my friend. My friend has a bit of a temper, which is a huge understatement, and would have made a huge scene about this so I just let it go since I wasn't ready to make a hasty exit from the bar. But after ordering a couple more rounds of drinks I heard the waitress say it out loud each time when giving the order to the bookkeeper. My friend was actually being very friendly and the girls were being downright nasty and disrespectful, thinking they were the only people that were on the inside of this little running joke. I decided enough was enough, warned the owner what was getting ready to go down and why and then went and told my friend he needed to check the name on his bill. Within 5 minutes several staff were brought to tears and begging not to be fired.......and all our drinks were on the house (taken from the offending staff's wages....which probably took a couple days for them to pay off ).

 

I gave no warnings or infraction points to you or anyone else that has participated in that thread. I simply stated that personal attacks on anyone are against the forum rules (and they were that way long before I got here).

As for the private forum....how might I go about inviting people? Are you volunteering to deal with the hassle of approving members that will participate and moderating this private forum? I can make that happen if so. The private forum has already been created and is just waiting to be utilized. I personally don't want the hassle of dealing with the complaints that are going to come from a private forum where no rules exist.

I agree that I need to improve my own personal skills. Would be nice to have a moderator I could trust to keep me in check as well. Problem is finding someone that I can trust that's also good enough with computers to understand the software.

 

By your most recent post that is now placed here. clearly your one of those sort that like to dish it out, but clearly cannot take it/ Rye88 is a Soldier such am I. Those that go Navy or Air-Force and bust a butt and come out with the clear knowledge that you joined DOD and came out a non-Soldier as perhaps you just greased the wheels of a broken down A-10 Wart-Hogg.... have to deal with that. Don't please ever think to evaluate Soldiers. The boot-camp is tougher, the job outline is tougher and that's why as a whole they are tougher! If you read all in the forum, Rye88 is miles from back lines. Please have mutual respect for those that serve and do not drop one liner pokes at Fello Vets. Thank you!
