Howard, you think that if Patrick says on Fodors Travel Talk that he LOVES Chez Josephine and eats there every time he's in NYC, that might get him back in? 
Sorry....I just couldn't resist, since I fondly recall the two of you agreeing to disagree over that restaurant for many years now.
And, it's still on my list of places to try.
Patrick, come back to us.....

rb,
what I mean is, what's the point of knocking you off the board without giving you a reason? How can you correct the problem if you don't know what it is.
Yes, of course the board belongs to Fodor's and they can do whatever they like, but it's not the only game in town. It's a good forum because of the posters. Without the posters it wouldn't exist.

When Patrick saw this, he was touched and thanks everyone for their support.
I imagine his shock must be as great as ours, since he knows that he is never as ugly as a lot of people are on here on a regular basis.
I think a lot of posters have a difficult time sometimes with another persons sense of humor or how a person means something, when you are reading it, not hearing it or seeing the persons expressions.
I am a bit on the sensitive side sometimes and think I am being yelled at but after a certain amount of time, you see that some people just say things as they see them, they don't pussyfoot around.
And I think that is Patrick.
He is not being mean or snippy or as someone elsewhere claims , making "cutting remarks".. Some people look for offense everywhere, we are all adults, sort of and I think we should all be able to read a message board made up of mostly strangers and not be so offended by a mans remarks on how to make a hotel reservation etc.
I really hope this is very temporary and that we all appreciate being able to post and enjoy Fodors without attacking each other.. or if you have to attack someone, at least make sure it is funny LOL

I wrote to the editors at the address provided. I used to post a lot on another forum that was so sanitized as to become boring. No controversy is not a good thing, and Patrick, as long as I've been here, has been as helpful as any poster I've noticed.
