Self-appointed so-called foodie experts,anti-semites.

Personally,I can't stand either Duckdown-Hooter Inspector from Brampton (big deal!) or Embee.

The super-negative posts by pretencious Chowhound snobs is revolting. I love Caplanskys Deli,and really want Zane to be successful. Some of the worst Chowhound Toronto snobs are posters like Duckdown. The attacks are personal and mean spirited. Chowhound Toronto Board's pet hates are Caplanskys Deli, Yitzes. This is not the same board when I first joined years ago. Places that Chowhound Toronto posters hate,I love. St.Urban Bagel, Caplanskys Deli, Yitzes, Chez Piggy,Globe Bistro,Mildred's Temple. I also enjoy Eastside Mario's. Bagel world is another fave. As is United Bakers. Cafe in Ottawa, Vittoria Trattoria in Ottawa. 20 King Street in Kitchener. Ponzios in Cherry Hill,New Jersey. The Pub Steakhouse in Cherry Hill,New Jersey. Marche (when they were open) in Toronto. I am really getting turned off by the Toronto Chowhound board.

I was allowed back on, but restricted to the regional food boards. Has anyone ever been banned from Chowhound for posting negative comments about moderation from outside Chowhound, such as a blog, like this?  I want to start a blog so I can say what I cannot say on Chowhound and wonder if the would kick me out again if I did so and if I was critical of them?

If they like your images they claim they have ownership over your copy right and will not allow the removal of your images. Think twice before you submit ANY content to Chowhound. There are claims that they have even published a book and altered the posts of members as content. Chowhound stands for every thing a true hound should hate. Big corporate America running over the little guy with heavy handed moderation and what in my opinion amounts to little more than theft. I have emails from CH refusing to remove my images after I requested them to be taken down several times. Please be very careful and think twice before you post photos on Chowhound.

If a more clear case of that has happened, I haven't seen it. I know die-hard passionate foodies who were frequent and objective posters who got arbitrarily banned with no explanation. If these are the kind of people who get tossed off the boat, then I'm not setting sail with them, and I'll tell anyone who asks that it's no longer a source of good information. Sad but true. They are going to fall by the wayside soon enough and rightfully so. Bottom line: Chowhound has killed off its own usefulness, cut off its nose to spite its face.

Recently I've had postings about concern over using food ingredients from China and displeasure about the long lines at my local TJs and their discontinuation of stoned wheat thins censored. Once you've been censored once I think you go on a hot list and they carefully discriminate against everyone of your postings. The SF hounds have a picnic each year and this year the Chowhound Community Manager Jacquilynne Schleisier flew down from Toronto to attend. I had a chance to talk to her and what a piece of work! While food is obviously her main main interest (see the photo http://www.ample-knitters.com/jacquilynne.html ) She also talked about going on cruises with her parents. On her blog she talks about her thoughts about her main interest http://www.jacquilynne.com/mt/mt-static/diet/reasons_why/ I hope this gives some consolation to those of you who have been censored.

Talking with other long time 'Hounds, they have a common experience. I say it just goes with the territory, and it helps to have another outlet. I never really bothered to get too worked up about it because a) it's still the best resource on the web and b) I have my own blog to post thoughts and c) I keep off-line contact with 'Hounds whose palates I trust.

Deja vu all over again. The Nazis at Chowhound banned me once again, this time for trying to note that $500. for dinner for two at a restaurant in a suburb of NY is outrageous. The Nazis at chowhound then did NOT have the courtesy to tell me why they banned me for this, other than the fact that they 'could'. Putzes, the entire lot of them.
