I ...Heather, thank you for taking down the picture. I was a bit surprised that you didn't contact me about this via email after you removed it. If you want people to contact you privately, you should have an email address up on your blog. I couldn't find one, and blogger doesn't have an email link like other services. Your blog was never mentioned by name and no one would have known it was you if you hadn't posted. I encourage you to email me privately if you have further issues.<BR/><BR/>I would venture to say that no one in Cincinnati is paid to write a food blog (save Polly Campbell), I know I'm not. Out of the 100+ restaurants I've reviewed, I have had two complimentary (except for alcohol, which they can't give away legally) meals. One was great, one was mediocre. I'm fairly sure that most, if not all, food bloggers do it for fun and love of food. You're not unique in that regard. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I said anything about not writing negative reviews-- I've written two not-so-positive reviews myself. There is, of course, an art to writing a negative review, but that isn't what this post is about. I was speaking mostly about commenters. I've seen a few nasty ones in recent weeks, mostly on other blogs I read around Cincinnati. I've had a couple of people who disagreed with my opinion on a certain sandwich shop, but that's the extent of it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911168030162240860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-44047602506586927972008-07-16T15:23:00.000-04:002008-07-16T15:23:00.000-04:00Nice of you all to talk about me without emailing ...Nice of you all to talk about me without emailing me directly or posting to my blog. I am new to this and didn't know about the photo thing and I took it down as soon as I got the post. <BR/><BR/>I also don't think posting a review about a restaurant that isn't all roses and puppies is a problem. It's my opinion of a restaurant and what I had that day. I'm not getting paid and I pay for all of my meals. <BR/><BR/>I write my blog because I have fun with it - it's one person's opinion and I try and do that light-heartedly and honestly.FoodHussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246158133278171298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-74347127247304417772008-07-14T22:42:00.000-04:002008-07-14T22:42:00.000-04:00TJ, I pride myself on being diplomatic. :) Nearly...TJ, I pride myself on being diplomatic. :) Nearly every website, and definitely most blogs, have ads of some sort-- can you also not link to Epicurious or Bitten (because the NYT doesn't have ads...) or Slashfood or any of a million other sites that have ads? I think a small row of Google ads is far less obtrusive than the big banner ads most sites have. Ah, well. A tad hypocritical, indeed. Now I just mention "Oh, I blogged about that"-- and most people seem to just do a quick google search to find me.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911168030162240860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-26714142087209848892008-07-14T22:39:00.000-04:002008-07-14T22:39:00.000-04:00Antiquated is a very diplomatic way to put it for ...Antiquated is a very diplomatic way to put it for a website LOADED with advertising :-).

Recently I caught my self regretting that I raved too much about the fabulous eggs from the Wright farm stall at Findlay when I got there late and they were out of eggs. I quickly reversed course and decided it would work out in the end and be better for all that I did. They got more chickens, I got to know them better and I discovered their wonderful pork sausage, best I have ever had (OK the word is out!). I did the same thing with Terry's Turf club, hopefully the Wright's and Terry both are reaping the benefit, It's a Karma thing.<BR/><BR/>Clean up after your self, If you quote someone trim the post down to the specific lines you are referencing, make for easier reading.vudutuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359560239503189229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-88382058328726497942008-07-13T23:43:00.000-04:002008-07-13T23:43:00.000-04:00You have a great week too!
