instead, IMHO this is the essence of the issue.yup, do I give a flying fuck if he has an interest? .
Once you know that somebody is an owner or has a clear interest, maybe just to please his mistress owmingormmsnwging the bar, or ownership, his comments on the bsr(s) will new read in s different than those of a normal customer.
Especially when these comments are praising the one bar and maybe putting bad light on other.
It is for the good sake of the forum itself as it has to give a wide range of honest information,
It is inevitable BM have preferences and will toast to one bar more than others, or bring up one girl vs. the others. Still these are honest comments and not induce by ownership or interests.
There are bar owners here making clear who they are and still not making partial comments.
When I read posts from the lady managing the bar I know who she is and I read her knowing it is an advertorial.
In that case his comment being.partial, a new reader will be taken by such a classified appearing as a normal punter comment.
This does not good to the forum and to the other bars, being more fair and honest.
So the bar should post as the bar, and the bar owner should abstain from commenting on is own bar and preferably avoid smashing other bars....
