Anyone been fed to the lawyers?

Just wondering, has any food blogger been threatened with legal action for a bad review or anything. Or been kicked out of anywhere for taking pics or writing bad things?

This should never be an issue.

For some reason, I don't write bad reviews on my food blog. I'm not sure whether I'm trying to maintain an upbeat style, or if I just don't bother to write up a bad experience and give them any google rank. I will post to the local food forum if I feel I need to warn people about a place.

Im pretty sure this has been covered here earlier. And there was a huge debate on this regarding...oh shoot, I forget...a bay area blog review...sorry that wasnt too helpful...LOL

Does anyone know (based on my excellent information) what Im referring to?

rachael - are you talking about bay area bites? (jennifer posted a link here at food blog scool to the review on their blog)

um, i have never gotten fed to the lawyers, buti have gotten some NASTY comments when i have posted my opinions and thoughts on restaurants that weren't positive. NASTY. but i left them there. they're mean, and at the time, i took offense, but shoot, when i go back and read them now, they're pretty funny.

The KQED Food Blog, Bay Area Bites, had the original thread on Blogger Ethics in September. It was a bit more complicated than just a bad review.
