I knew there was a reason I pretty much stopped posting here after registration...

I like Patrick because he never posts questions about Hawaii. Welcome back BannedPatrick.

FREE PATRICK!

Hi BannedPatrick! :)

Just making a guess here, but I wonder if it could be because that Patrick contacted the restaurant where PalmPilot said he had a problem with the wine list. Not that I am making any kind of judgement, but I wondered about that when I read it.

Kath--I don't know, there is another poster that contacts places and she has not been banned(that I know of anyway).

Huh? Why ban Patrick? His opinions are well formed, he writes in complete sentences, and he doesn't attack a user with personal barbs.

If he was a lawyer I'd want him to defend me in court.

Now, if I did have a hovering finger, I would ban a few thousand people I'd ban before Patrick.

<i>&quot;No word from Fodors yet on why I was banned&quot;</i>

Well, don't hold your breath, dear. Life is much too short to wait for any smart, forward-thinking changes in the world of publishing.

I continue to read, &quot;You're screename &quot;NYCFoodSnob&quot; is temporarily blocked&quot; and many months have passed. Luckily for me, I've got a boat-load of clever monikers-in-the-waiting.

At least you heard from someone at Fodor's.

Even without hearing from anybody, I know why I was banned. I slapped an editor (cough, cough, spit, spit) in the face and it was obvious to just about everybody (except the editor and Holly) that I was joking. My goodness, I LOVE editors, even the ones who are faking it. Knowing what I know about publishing, I should have known better. It's hard to work in that industry and keep a sense of humor.

I hope you fair better than me, Patrick, and get your name back but I doubt you will. Fodor's doesn't permit double-posting and since you obviously re-registered (as did I), the deal is sealed.

I do like BannedPatrick and suggest you wear it with pride. I hope all is well with you and your loved ones and I look forward to reading and enjoying your posts.

FREE PATRICK!!

I do however love the BannedPatrick monicker.


Free Patrick!!

This is such silliness to ban him. Why Fodors, why?

Where is Bronxilla/Peter Kay?

Jeez, you don't sign on for a couple of days and miss the good stuff!

What on earth happened?

BannedPatrick! sounds good.

Should we have buttons made? :-)

alya Nov 10th, 2005 07:51 AM

BTW I just checked - the top 13 posts on the US forum are in support of Patrick!

Patrick, You have been loved :-)

faithie Nov 10th, 2005 08:06 AM
