For pygmygiraffe, aka: the tiny giraffe

Hi tiny giraffe,

I've noticed that there have been some posts stating that you work for the company whose website is www.micssafaris.com, possibly serving as a shill for the company, but I haven't seen any response from you about those statements. So, I'm curious, do you work for them? Do you have a connection of any kind with them?

Thanks,
Jack

I posted this early this a.m. but got no response from pygmygiraffe. Just now I did a search for pygmygiraffe and the search came up with no postings. Does this mean that pygmygiraffe's postings have been removed by the board monitor? Could one assume then, that indeed pygmygiraffe is working as a shill for the Mics Safari Company? Any thoughts? Jack

Hello Jack,

It's possible that the person concerned has been identified as a tour operator by Fodors and banned, and all of their posts removed. This has happened in the past with people who are blatently advertising for business on the forum.

Cheers,
Julian

Advertising that backfires. Thanks, J

Hi Jack,
This also happened awhile ago after I made referance in my post to someone posting questions about entering various countries with a misdemeanor on their record. He was also asking odd passport questions all over the Fodor's site.
All his past postings were gone within a very short time after my post.
Seems like someone is watching.
