It may be poor prose, it may be poor policy, but, whatever it is, it is poorly done.

However, I tried to make a comment to her post wherein I first claimed to be much more agnostic on the matter now than I was in that post, having looked into Arbol a bit more (do they even have servers anymore?) and then called the post out on taking a local online row into national profile without making even a basic inquiry into the facts (more worrisome since I have the aforementioned impression that Marco is a Philadelphian). Maybe it is because I used the phrase "helter stupid" (coined by Negativland to describe situations when older media makes these sorts of unverified bandwagoneering moves); but, while my profile has been included into The Consumerist probably built to impress advertisers' "community," my comment was never added into the mix.

If they're so hard up for cash that they're stealing tips, how could them afford to keep me on their payroll?
