Redacted Yelp Attack

My apologies to Yelp.com!

This week, I accused them of sending fake complements to their users.   I made this accusation as after finding a compliment on one of my reviews, and googling the text of the compliment, only to find that it has appeared hundreds of thousands of times before.

Helpful wagist readers have pointed out that while compliment was indeed unoriginal, it wasn’t generated by Yelp itself, but rather by yelp users who used a generic compliment-giving system built into the Yelp site.

I’m the first to admit when I’m wrong.  I deleted my previous post as soon as the error was pointed out to me.

Sincerely,

Joshua Vogel

Mighty quiet these days.

 Rowwdy  BertDilbert No entirely so-I said a few things to IFAM, Consider, ect....lol

 patti is ticked    I was referring to this thread my dear.  Can't take much more of the Taliban freak.    Maybe we can liven up the thread link I sent you...'shoot' there.

 Rowwdy Don't want to ever let her think she can chase us off-will post to her, but will NOT ever capitulate or allow anyone to make my decisions, she'll never make a Socialist out of me, no one will.  I will stand by my Country, by my beliefs.   There is nothing people like that can ever do that would change my mind, or erase what i have seen/heard/know.

I can NOT understand why conversion to the blind state of socialism is SO important to them, and what their primary interest in shutting us up is.

WHY they're so insistent on slapping blinders on people.

Yeah, Rowwdy. That Florida boy and his woman weren't putting up with any more damn thugs,. If he had not fired those two shots, that thug and his buddy would have beaten him(perhaps to death) and probably robbed him, and raped his woman. That is what thugs do. I don't buy the cell phone excuse for their coming back.

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 patti is ticked   I thought the cell phone thing was a little suspicious too.   Rarely do people forget their cell phones.

How many of you saw that complete IDIOT, Michael Moore on the idiot box, raving that Zimmerman "stalked and chased him down."  I knew MM was an asshole, and a Libtard, but to out and out LIE, or not to get the facts before appearing on television and commenting is irresponsible!

I wonder what that fucknugget would say if it were HE that was being beaten? Even many of the people that first thought Zimmerman did all of this have now weighed the evidence and changed their views, yet MM is still back at what everybody thought in the very beginning! This was on NBC, of course.

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 patti is ticked  He must be related to Ritalin and Sheifam. 

 

Moore has always been a fat puss ball of socialist BS.  I expect nothing decent from the pig.  And  PIG he is.

 patti is ticked White liberals think that they are cool when they say things that jibe with jive asses like Jesse & Al. 

tifosies 165 pts

 patti is ticked Zero evidence that Z turned back to his truck, in fact just the opposite (declined to meet officers at the mailboxes.) Awaiting trial :)

Gun control is not controlling guns, its controlling the people who own guns. Whenever I meet someone who is completely against guns, I ask them their biggest argument against owning guns.

Im surprised that noone has ever given a valid reason to remove the 2nd amendment. The recent incident in Colorado is giving plenty of people something to jump on, trying to say guns are bad.

Well, yea, guns are bad when they are in the hands of crazy people. But what about the majority of gun owners, who are responsible and understand the damage that guns can do?

 We do not need gun control, we need a better system in place for those who do own guns. We need more responsible people owning guns, education for those who are afraid of guns.

 

If there were more armed citizens, chances are that incidents such as this can be lessened greatly. Would it not have been better if at least one of those lives could have been saved by an armed citizen?

 CheebaKind   Bravo Cheeba.  Excellent post.

patti is ticked 7907 pts

Was thinking about your post when I heard this morning that gun permit applications are waaaayy up in FL.. And we normally have quite a few applicants anyway. It is enough to provoke commentary on the radio,  perhaps more eyes are being opened to what the Obamatards are up to?? CheebaKind 

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 patti is ticked   Interesting patti.  Getting their permit before the govt. lowers the boom?

patti is ticked 7907 pts

 Rowwdy I think so-I think I have convinced a crack shot I know (His dad was a Green Beret and trained his 3 boys well) to get his. The man works as a nurse. He has treated gunshot wounds inflicted by morons with Saturday night specials, but doesn't let that deter him from gun ownership and regular practice, as he isn't a freaking Libtard, he sees plenty of their entitled asshole personalities at work- as in many of these aforementioned patients.  He now knows he needs that permit.

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 patti is ticked   Keep encouraging him patti.   Take him by the darn hand and walk him through it if you have to.

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Rowwdy  patti is ticked Apparently this happens whenever there is a shooting. The greatest increase was after the Tucson shooting of Gabby Giffords. Rumors get started that rules are going to be tightened, and imagine what people are concerned they won't qualify with tighter rules.

patti is ticked 7907 pts

 eclecticsandra  Rowwdy WELL SANDRA: Maybe this wouldn't happen if Gun-Grabbing Idiots didn't send out petitions, and even more Morons who don't see it for what it truly is, spitting on the Constitution, and therefore sign them...then they get forwarded to some shit-for-brains libtard who makes the news broadcast circuit, talks more trash and gets a motion drafted by some Congressional Cretin. It is US, The People that have to remind the Freedom Robbers that we will NOT stand for it!!

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 eclecticsandra  "The greatest increase was after the Tucson shooting of Gabby Giffords."

 

Nope!  The all time record was the week before the 2008 election.  Another record was hit  Dec. 2011.   Obamao is labeled as "the best gun salesman of all time". 

 

"According to the FBI, over 1.5 million background checks on customers looking to purchase a firearm were requested by gun dealers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) last December. That’s a record. In fact, nearly 500,000 of those background checks occurred during the six days before Christmas—people were putting more than Red Rider BB guns under their trees!"   http://www.forbes.com/sites/frankminiter/2012/01/18/why-u-s-gun-sales-are-shooting-for-the-moon/

 Rowwdy That is interesting. I was only reporting on what I heard.

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Rowwdy I think the statistics I heard was for one day of checks.

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

I'm currently reading, "Columbine," by Dave Cullen. It is interesting in light of the recent shooting, but it follows up on the memories that people have of what actually happened. Part of what some people remembered was very clear and fit with other witnesses, but some were so traumatized that they misremembered important aspects. I think this has been happening with the witnesses of the Trayvon Martin shooting. All the press and publicity don't help, but it will take skillful attorneys to get the truth before the jury.

 Rowwdy Rowdy: According to Theifam, they are rebelling against us. I suppose they just needed us to spend more money on them, even though we now spend more money to try to educate them than we do on our own children. 

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 Paul Hue   Sheifam is an abysmal excuse of human flesh.    Both he and that Ritalin chick can rebel away.    If they think they are speaking  for blacks, then blacks are in a heap more trouble with them as an example.

patti is ticked 7907 pts

 Rowwdy  Paul Hue "Ritalin" LMAO on that one!

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 patti is ticked    Really patti.  Have you seen a more obtuse, vile,  insane person than Ritalin?  That chick is frigging nuts.  Seriously, she she needs help.   And eclectic is over there giving her points.....LMAO. 

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Rowwdy  patti is ticked When I agree with someone, I click on "like." Does that give points? What are the points for anyway? Do we get to redeem them at the Livefyre store?

ok, that exchange between you and Vicki was well...interesting lmao!  A strange combination of hysterical, yet very bizarre.  I don't think I laughed so much on here in a long time. 

 

Hope you had a nice swim with your beauty bride =)

 

I think this Yelp thread is pretty dead, seems everyone moved over to the Drug one to play pass around and beat the Weenie.

 eclecticsandra  Rowwdy  patti is ticked 

 

eclectic, why don't you post over there?  Renaline is generalizing and bashing our American guys, dont'cha know.

patti is ticked 7907 pts

 eclecticsandra  Rowwdy Sandra, I have received thousands of likes, but my score hasn't gone up. I still appreciate the likes, but the scorekeeper isn't paying attention, and that's ok :) If there's a store, I sure as hell wouldn't go. Anonymity is important, especially when you are me, lol. Lots of crackpots on the internet, don't wanna have to defend myself against any.

Rowwdy 8673 pts

 Cake or Death  "ok, that exchange between you and Vicki was well...interesting lmao!"

 

Glad you got a laugh out of it.     All I could thin of was .....weeeeeeeeeeeeeee get the hell out of that convo.

 

Thank you, I did have a GREAT swim with my bride.   Nothing like a midnight swim.  :)

 

I needed some exercise after kibitzing with that fruitcake Rit.

 Cake or Death  Rowwdy  patti is ticked I saw nothing but generalities and didn't see any way I could contribute.

But, you agreed with Rectaline when he foamed and called one of us a racist.

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Cake or Death  Rowwdy  patti is ticked Maybe I did. I must confess, I can't find any current conversation. Everything seems to be a month old.

patti is ticked 7907 pts

 eclecticsandra  Cake or Death  Rowwdy So, you acted like a fucking commie and allowed that POS to shit on America and Americans and agreed with him. You should pack up and GTFO, if that's how you feel about America!

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 patti is ticked  Cake or Death  Rowwdy I don't remember what that was. Could you help me find it?

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 patti is ticked Sorry have stuff to do. I agree with very little, if anything, in a communist agenda. I'll be back later to see what I got myself into.

Cake or Death 4535 pts

"Everything seems to be a month old."

 

How were you able to get on there and like Rit's posts then?  

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Cake or Death  Rowwdy  patti is ticked I don't know, but I can't get back.

eclecticsandra 1325 pts

 Cake or Death  Rowwdy  patti is ticked Maybe it was removed. I've tried getting in several ways, and none works. I am very curious what I said that made you think I am a Communist.

Eclectic's comment Cake...>>> "I think I was applauding someone who thought he could show Rowwdy as a fool."

 

As I said weeks back.....she is a manipulator.    Miss Innocent is really a bitch underneath her facade. of naïveté.

 Cake or Death   "How were you able to get on there and like Rit's posts then? "

 

LMAO!  Nice obs Cake.  :) :)
