CQ's - Friday Night

Reagan, you should really calm down. Nothing that Marsha posted was rude or libel. It appears that your allegeances to Chef Supply and Scott are impeding your ability to make non-biased posts.

Scott was very willing to "dish it out." IMO, he should be able to take it too.

If Scott decided not to speak to management, that is his perogative, he has a right to it. Just like Marsha is well withing bounds to state her thoughts and feelings. That was not an attack.

Reagan, if you found this thread disgusting, would you also include Scott's initial comments as disgusting? They seem pretty much on par with the comments that followed.

Frankly, I found your post irrational and over-board. Just my opinion, and yes a forum is the place to express that.

Hi Alison,

what you find unbelievable is your personal "unbelief". To expect everyone else to react the same way is you do is equally unbelievable. To assume the tone he spoke to the server is well, to assume.

Personally, I believe in making my voice heard, not to complain as much as to fix the problem. That is my personality. To judge a person who was shoddily treated by his reaction to the treatment is missing the point. He listed several areas of opportunity, which were ignored in the thread while he was belittled and his company defamed. I'm glad your visit went well, and am sure Alan would have rectified Scott's situation had he been made aware, but your happy story could have done without the fish taco comment at the end. Assumed business practices of the customer should never have been made an issue. Adding tacky comments should have been avoided. But then I am repeating myself here. Unbelieve to the max that people will not say anything to the manager but complain later. It happens, folks. So feel how you feel, but don't judge others so harshly is all I ask. Oh, and leave my company out of it. Not funny or cute.

Just askin for the love that I know is in our hearts!

Derrick,

I am sorry if I used too many words for you. Marsha's comments were IMO just that, comments, not adding to the conversation but in fact libel. Allegiance is spelled with an I. You are assuming that any opinion I have is biased from that allegiance. Hell yeah it is, that is what having an opinion is.

You don't know me, so don't presume to know me, if you didn't understand my posts, leave it at that; nobody cares about your opinion of my rational. Like I said, it is relative; if you can't relate, stay out of it.

Try a post about the food, or service, and try to stay away from rude and insulting posts, ok? Not to toot, but I have an English degree, so try to stay away from blanket statements about my posts; you are not adding to the conversation, or hurting my feelings, or swaying any opinions. Just proliferating a thread about... what was it again?

I try to say again, peace and love, people.

Reagan, You are very rude. I care about Dereks opinion. If you would care to read back over the posts, you will find that yours is the only one defending Scott's decision not to speak to management, not to go there again and to tell other people about his experience which IMO seems to boil down to a food server dropping their food and him not liking the fish tacos.


Marsha's point was valid. If Scott was not willing to voice his concerns to management, then he can not expect a disatisfied customer of his to voice their concerns, but simply never to set foot in his establishment again.

nobody cares about your opinion of my rational.

Wrong. Do not speak for everyone in this thread, Reagan. I may/may not agree with their opinion, but still want to hear it. This is my opinion.

Reagan, you should really calm down. Nothing that Marsha posted was rude or libel. It appears that your allegeances to Chef Supply and Scott are impeding your ability to make non-biased posts.

Bingo.

Your correction of his spelling tells me all I need to know about you. But your condescending tone at the end ("ok?") was definitely the nail in the coffin.

BTW, i thought about misspelling my whole response, but that would have been petty.

It's rationale, by the way. And I don't see anything libelous about Marsha's statement.

*returns to box of popcorn*

Marsha. Defamatory comments misrepresenting an entity, including misrepresenting the SLOGAN of that entity. Is libel. Just because you say it isn't doesn't make it true.

Definition of Defamation/Libel (from Wikipedia):

"Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).[1]"

Marsha did not expressly state or make a comment that she believed to be factual. She asked a series of questions that asked how the OP would feel if a customer used the same approach for bad service from his business that he used when he receives bad service at a restaurant. Just because she pulled his position and company name from his sig line into the questions does not make it libel.

Asking a question and allowing an opportunity for the opposite view to answer is not an implied factual statement, and therefore not libel.

An English degree is great, do you have a Law degree that backs up your false implication of Marsha being libel?

Don't need a law degree to read your helpful definition. The statement fits perfectly with your own wikiresearch. Cut it out on the law degree, did I do something to you too Pete?

Goodness, gracious, folks. I'm not going to say "can't we just all get along," but I'm kinda' thinking it.

I'll stay out of the way now ... resume the beatings, if you wish.

Nope, you did nothing to me. It is just a slow day at the office and I am keeping the pot stirred with an outside objective opinion of the rather heated exchange.

I think this is the first time since I joined LHB that I'm actually saying to myself, "Self: Don't feed the troll."

This thread is going nowhere useful. Let us all just let it disappear from the front page. Or, better yet, maybe Robin can send it into the ether, never to be seen again. In situations like this, I'm all for over-administration.

Edit: And yes I know I replied earlier. And I regret doing so. But I'm not going to go back and delete it now.

Reagan, I can appreciate your English degree. However, maybe you should study up on your law accumen, as it is lacking.

You clearly do not understand the definition of libel...nothing that Marsha said was defamatory, nor was it intentionally malicious or damaging. She only made a suggestion, based on her interpretation of Scott's comments.

Really, no harm no foul here. I just felt that your relationship with Scott and Chef's Supply impaired your ability to see the comments for what they were. I didn't find anything rude or disgusting, until you begain attacking others, for their opinions. Sorry for any spelling errors, even more sorry that someone would form an opinion on mine (or anyone's for that matter) level of intelliegence based on message board fodder.

For a proponent of "peace and love" you words indicate that you don't completely practice what you preach.

Good day all! DD

I am going to add something..... will i regret it later? i don't know.

I like this forum, i like the people on this forum. Is everyone different? of course, things would be pretty boring if we weren't. I began to post less and less, then i just stopped posting. People bash/jump/assume/ etc A LOT. A good ole discussion/debate............ great, i am all for that. But things get ugly really quickly and easily.

i like Robin's way of seeing it as a virtual bar. I do not say or behave here in a way that would be different if i was face to face. But that is just me and this is just my rambling and view. The level of aggression has made me shy away, sadly it might do it to other potential people that could give and take a lot from this forum.

I have mentioned LHB to local restaurants that were just starting because i wanted them to come here to get the word out, etc. But they had negative views about it so stayed away. I feel it is sad and a sorry representation of Louisville for those that might come here in search of something.
