Thank you for many great reviews in the past and for responding to writers’ requests. Lately you tried to post a review and didn’t include court documents to prove your assertions so we declined to publish the review.
We said it was because it wasn’t a “first hand review” which means you didn’t ever go to the venue. During subsequent emails we re-asserted that you never went to that venue.
That is untrue and for that we apologize. Sincerely, tripadvisor.com

Yes, that’s what I’d like to see. Cheers, Dee

No, the above is not an apology, only one suggested by me, the writer, for undermining my credibility as a reviewer. Dee
I’m a Top Contributor now but still wonder why I would need court documents to give a restaurant review, years later. Now Trip Advisor is all over TV ads and if they give my name as one of their top people I’ll take them to court.
