I would prefer not to call it a lie, but I would suggest that you go
back and read the original cite. She made the reservation, and not in
her own name.


Good point, although I suspect he is using his real name.

And yet, there's something psychological about not getting the most.
Some people think "adequate" means "lacking."



And Margaret says that anything less than 3-1/2 or 4 stars by a NY Times
reviewer is death to a NYC restaurant, even though 3 stars means
"excellent".

Depends on context. In some institutions and communities,
it is customary to address to anyone with a doctorate as "Doctor".
This was true when I was at Caltech, and I suspect it was
true in U.K. society in general until perhaps 1960.

But it's no longer true presently, in general, probably because there
have been so many Ph.D's churned out in the last couple decades
that it's become less meaningful.

Now, if you want to argue the entire academic community is
filled with assholes anyway .... :-)

Right.Pointing out clear examples is neither racist or informative.
Assuming that the entire group will fit the example is prejudiced.


I guess the irony is lost on you.

I was thinking about the article where the managing partner said that
she had been unnecessarily cruel in her review of another partner's
restaurant.

I could be mistaken but it the link in the OP might be different from
what was originally there, or T am remembering something else I found.
At any rate there are reports in it about how erratic Virbila's reviews
are, like raving about everything and then being stingy with the stars.



Rather than cast idiotic aspirations about my remarks, you could deal
with the one that I have repeatedly referred to..... the partner's
comment about her being unnecessarily cruel in her review of another
partner's business.


WTF would you ask such a stupid question? Where did I ever suggest that
all reviews should be positive.

The only people entitled as of right to call themselves "Doctor" are
the PhDs and others with genuine doctorates. I've even seen
veterinary surgeons and dentists with mere undergraduate degrees using
it recently.

And, yes, I do have a PhD and, no, I have never used it making a
restaurant or any other kind of booking. Not that it would be any
advantage here anyway.

LW

Since there is no law against using the term "doctor", as there is against
impersonating a police officer, I believe I shall join the ranks of Piled
High and Deep, and start calling myself "Doctor". I am an expert in many
things, and certainly rate myself with some of the Piled High and Deeps I
have met. However, since doctors are known for being so cheap, it may not
be a good idea in some venues, as they get poor service and bad seating
because of their lousy tipping practices.
