Anytime you can get «eliminated» from Unilocal because u write the truth… that’s a conspiracy in my «eyes».
Michael W and his reviews will be missed. For them to remove him off the Unilocal grid shows you that there is something going on here.
It’s «dirty». It’s vindictive. It’s blasphemy. Unilocal is censoring the truth by this act alone.
Is being a «whistle blower» against the law? You are doing the right thing by reporting «unethical» behavior.
Having no ethics is what politicians don’t have. Career politicians are the scum of the earth.
Michael W was different. He will be missed. RIP.
When they eventually «removed» me from the Unilocal grid, I thank those that have read my reviews.
Carpe Diem.

Go ahead, risk losing your Unilocal rights — post here.
Go ahead, risk losing your precious Elite status — post here.
THEY are watching.
The clock is ticking for us all.

Unilocalers come and go. Our very avatar of awesomeness might not last in Unilocalland, so I’ll leave you with something our little community has taught me:
As one leaves the confines of semi-​forced interaction (i.e. high school/​college/​etc), there are far fewer opportunities for people from all aspects of life to engage in a community. I Unilocal to meet great people, build lasting friendships, and to just kick ass.
Let’s kick the tires and light the fires MP b/​c I’m here to stay.

Like Lemmings at the edge of a cliff, asking one another:
«Is it true according to myth that we all follow each other off the edge?»
Apparently for many-​YES!
However, not for MP!
I have TRUE friends here on Unilocal,I enjoy being Elite, the CMS are great, the events are great, I like sporting my diamonds in my heart and I got’s fans too see?!
For those of you who choose to do so or are thinking of doing so, no hate, maybe take a break and for those again who have done so, I’ll miss you and your reviews but like me-​MP (I swear in another life «Oh my goodness…»
Goodness had nothing to do with it HONEY and I’m staying:

I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Chad A. outside of Unilocal and he is the one thing that led me here. Many adventures, memories and of course fine food have followed from his Unilocal exploits. I stay now only to Unilocal in his memory. Unilocal will truly not be the same for me now. His reviews acted as a final yay or nay that could speak for him even when we were apart. I can recall many occasions when I would reject a new restaurant solely based on a Chad A. black list spot. A novel could be written on the reasons he chose to finally take the leap into the great depths of Unilocal’s beyond but I choose to give those reasons no more attention than they have already managed on their own, for naming them would only give them more power and no one needs that.
I will think of him every time I have an amazing pastrami sandwich at orange tree deli, when I stumble through the secret door with the red key, when I have the perfect taco.
Only the good die young. A Unilocal death, but still just as hard.
Thank you Dave G.

I want to take a moment to talk to you all about something serious that has been affecting our Unilocaling Community lately… Unilocalicide. I’m not sure how often a Unilocalicide occurs on this website. This may be a new epidemic or perhaps it’s always been there, but not talked about. No longer! I will speak out against this tragedy and you should too. This has been a tough year for some serious Unilocalers. Perhaps you know them. It all started out with Jeena E. suddenly vanishing. How could this be? I had dinner with her at Sushi Noguchi just a few months ago? She seemed fine to me. But then poof in a blink of an eye, her Snow Boarding photo just disappeared from my Reviewers I’m Following List. At least I think it was a Snow Board, it could have been a ski, or maybe a dog or something? All I know is that it was some kind of bluish/​white background that was a half inch square. And I used to click on it to get some reviews, and now it’s gone. How strange I thought?
Next up to leave my Unilocaling world by Unilocalicide was Steven N. Now this guy was a pretty big fish in the Unilocaling pond. So big in fact, his friends only knew him by one Letter… N. Just like his great reviews, he managed to cut through the chase and dump the first name all together. Don’t dismiss this. There are only 26 letters and he was important enough to claim 1 of them. N. «What did N say? Did N like this place? Hey I saw N checked in.» I can only think of two other people that important to have their own letter, Oprah and Q from Star Trek. I had just hung out with N to go see Marty & Elayne at the Dresden Room. Just like in Swingers — He was money baby. But he was money and didn’t even know it. The signs were there. He stopped Unilocaling for a few months and didn’t check in anymore and he started getting thin and in shape. Life on the outside of Unilocal just seemed easier for him. Then one day, just like Jeena E. He was gone. All his reviews that had pointed me in the right direction for all kinds of good food… gone. I close my eyes and I can’t even remember them anymore.
The latest mighty Unilocaler to fall on his Unilocal sword was Chad A. In my early days of Unilocaling I met three wise men. Dan H., Chris D, and Chad A. They each brought me gifts. Dan H. bestowed upon me the intimate knowledge of places throughout all of SoCal offering outstanding service, good wine, and cold beer! Chris D. regardless of culture would find Mom and Pop joints. Not only on the North South streets of the OC, but on the East and West ones as well. No terrain was too untamed for his search of spicy pickled things. Even though his quest keeps leading him into places with their AC set on 81. But I digress. The last wise man was Chad A. Chad A. knew fine food. He used the word «piquant» many times in his reviews. I still don’t know what that word tastes like, but the ignorance is my own. If you needed to know where to go for a fine dinner, Chad A. was your man. He sent me to Providence for my 40^th birthday dinner. He told me about Top Chef Fabio’s cooking class at Firenze Osteria. Having worked at Disney customer service, he knew the In’s and Outs of the Mysterious Club 33. He introduced me and my wife to our favorite restaurant experience at Napa Rose — The Chef’s Counter. Knowledge is power and Chad A. had all of that. But alas, like many great men before him, he was brought down by a woman. And while this isn’t the place to discuss the why’s of it all, let’s take a moment to reflect on the impact that Chad A. had here on lots of us Unilocalers. His reviews are gone now, but still are powerful enough to echo throughout all of Unilocalland. I just had proof of this the other day as I bought a Mattress from Zzzzz Mattress. I bookmarked this place because of a Chris D’s review. Then reading their other reviews, I stumbled upon a Dan H. review. Both reviews mentioned that they bought their mattress here because of Chad A. So if Chad hadn’t bought his mattress here, I wouldn’t be sleeping so comfortably tonight.
Who knows where the next Jeena E., Steven N, or Chad A. review would have taken you. We are all intertwined by a thread people. And by committing Unilocalicide, you pull on that thread and risk unraveling l the whole Unilocaling universe as we know it.
