My original post was a bit unclear. What I meant is that I am glad trip advisor avoids politics. Their review site isn't a stump platform. That said, I am fine with the review writer posting exactly what she saw and how it made her feel (which they allowed her to do). I am not cool with ascribing feelings to others…

Oh, yeah, I'm way too well aware of this, and god knows I've been guilty of it. You're so sure you're right that OBVIOUSLY everyone else is wrong, and they'd see that if you just explain it better, and what the hell, now THEY'RE calling YOU crazy? What is this topsy turvy world!

As we've seen tonight.

Well, then. I guess it doesn't matter what anyone else cares about.

It's relevant. It was unprofessional behavior either way, but if she's visibly not comfortable, that's a LOT worse.

I don't think this individual understands irony. Maybe, like, Alanis Morissette irony, but not real irony. Eh, let people be stupid.

I don't know why I'm still surprised at what brings the trolls out, and at the enormous time they are given when people respond to them, but I still am. Amazing.

.....or I do not want to see a waitress getting bitten or have her ass slapped regardless how she feels about it. People keep talking about the waitresses feelings- whether she was okay with it or not is kind of irrelevant. If I'M not okay with it, then I don't want to eat there.

I'm confused. Why is the woman who wrote the review a "pretentious bitch?"

So answering my legitimate point about how sexual harassment in plain view of a guest is unprofessional workplace behavior regardless of individual opinions with a fact about how many countries there are in the world and spewing self-aggrandizing statements about how well-traveled you are isn't redirecting?

Try this on for size instead:

This has nothing to do with inner thoughts and opinions. This is about behavior.

Good for you. But you're redirecting. Again. I'm clearly not getting through to you, nor is it clear that you're willing to step outside your own ideas to try another on for size. Either you're seriously this unaware of how ridiculous you sound or you're totally aware and love riling people up. I'm done with you,…

I say it because I see people give abusers the benefit of the doubt every single day despite very clear evidence of what is going on, just because no one wants to be obnoxious, and then bad shit happens. I'm sorry you had to endure that experience, but frankly, you don't know mine either. And yes, your attitude does…

Manageress? I believe she means womanager.

She observed the manager touching his staff member in a sexual way, and the staff member frowning. What else do you need here?

No, your larger point is that you're sure nothing wrong happened here, and that the woman in question is just whiny and biased and should shut up, which you keep trying to illustrate by talking about yourself. And then you accuse other people of projecting. Amazing.

This isn't about what I view as professional, this is about what EVERYONE views as professional behavior. The majority opinion in the US specifically is that the behavior this owner demonstrated is unprofessional. That means that most people would be put off by seeing that kind of behavior while they're trying to eat…

Yeah, I know, right? "You don't know their dynamic." is so the mantra of abusers, harassers, rapists, pedophiles, ephebophiles and their apologists if I ever heard one.

Are you fucking kidding me with this? After your long post explaining that obviously this woman is wrong in her interpretation because this one time a friend joking made a sexist comment to you and someone else took offense, you're accusing other people of projecting themselves onto this situation?
