Yes, it's a fake!
No way!
I see what you're saying and I agree he comes across as an ignorant twat. But he has a right to his opinion.
Opinions are split so far. Anon (as usual) is the only one to give me a genuine reason why the review is ratted.
ElGordo, when you figure out my agenda make sure you post it. I'm sure everyone wants to know, including myself.
Since some of the people voting haven't been around long enough to know the full story, let me explain the context here.
Busty Malena and Carmen had a big public fight on the boards with Liz Hilton, who was later banned for various offences, including posting people's personal information on her blog. This fight, which had been going on for a while, got really nasty in late January of 2009.
On the afternoon of 19 January 2009 three things happened at roughly the same time:
- dingdong visited Liz and wrote a glowing review,
- he suddenly "remembered" that he had visited BM&C the previous year and wrote a negative review, their only negative review, and
- An Garda Siochana raided BM&C's hotel room, acting on an anonymous tip.
Shortly after this, BM&C's tour ended. They have never come back.
Now I don't know dingdong, and it is theoretically possible that this is all coincidence and that his negative review of BM&C had nothing to do with his visit to Liz, or to her fight with them. But the timing certainly doesn't look good.
And I don't know you, debest, so I don't know why you are suddenly trying to get this rat removed, more than a year and a half after all this happened.

“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

This is ancient history. That review was written before I joined, and I've been here a while. Malena and Carmen haven't toured in ages, and are probably never coming back. Why is this suddenly an issue?

Because I just noticed it was ratted a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't ratted when I read it before. I didn't pay attention to the date. I think a reason should be given for ratted reviews, don't you?
It hasn't just been ratted. It has been ratted since at least January. You are imagining things.

Where did I say it has just been ratted? You are imagining things.
There are lots of reviews ratted with no reason given. You've picked one that was ratted ages ago, a review of two ladies who no longer tour Ireland. Why? What are you up to?

A few weeks ago there was a big hullabaloo when someone questioned a negative review on teh grounds that he knew the girl and found it unusual.
This is just the same as it is someone defending a negative review cause they are familiar with other reviews that have been written by the person.
In my opinion it is a a fake review and it should be ratted and it should not be deleted because someone who will stoop to this once will probably do it again.

The guy mistyped the price and put 50 euros instead of 150, and it's sparked this massive debate.
Sometimes it would be easier to let a mod know about things like this so that we can PM the person in question rather than creating a post about conspiracy theories and suchlike.
