I think you're right. It was a lesson for me to, in the future, not offer any views, good or bad, to strangers.

One never knows to whom they are speaking. Years ago I used to post under a different name that sounded French and every time I posted compliments about French restaurants I got a bit of flack from some here. One day, at a lolo, I met a couple whom I won't name and they thought we were new to the island and started making restaurant recommendations . Then they suggested I go to traveltalkonline for info. When I said I was already registered there as Celeste Fuisse, the woman's response was YOU're Celeste? Conversation was awkward after that and they soon left.

I have to laugh at this; as I had a similar experience here on the forum. I sent someone, who I thought was new to the island, a PM about how service and tipping work on the French side. He completely reamed me out; they had been coming to the island for decades, and always tip an additional 20% or more on the French side. Up to you, Buddy!
