Being vetoed by Gary

Has anyone had issues with being vetoed on winorama when they try and make a comment on some of his tasting notes?

Just a question, no malice intended, but free speech would be appreciated

It sure sounds like there's malice intended.

Wouldn't it have been logical to first email Gary about the issue you were having, rather than posting negatively on a public wine forum?

My advice is start your own website and complain there. ask TORB for tips :lol:

Only posted about 5 times on winorama - no issues, posts allowed in full. Not surprising given the huge number of comments regarding wine (and other chatter!) on the site.

"My advice is start your own website and complain there. ask TORB for tips" .... still a couple of months to go before threads like "what were the best/worst/most interesting etc", but Craig this is definitely one of the finalists for "quote of the year" :D

What did you say??? Gary allows a fair bit of crap as long is it's sort of relevant to the topic, so you must have been pretty aggressive. Most of the few I've seen banned have deserved it from the posts I saw.

I agree with Max too.

Some comments get caught by the spam filter software. Not sure why because there is normally not any issues. I would check now but we are having problems with the web hosting...
