Pure pettiness.
Still a mystery then. I love mysteries and am starting to hope we never find out.
@Chowseeker1999 would never copy and paste his old reviews to ek. that would definitively link the two and he doesnāt want that.
when the innocent topic came up about the similarities between cs and ek, he was over-the-top apologetic, feigned ignorance and went as far as claiming plagiarism (even though nobody accused him of that) and volunteering to leave entirely. after he was āconvincedā to stay he poses the question to reformat his reports and downplayed his own writing and vocabulary.
but I think itās pretty obvious now, that heās been disingenuous and this was all just a cover story.
Apologies @J_L @Porthos. I freely admit to stealing ekās formatting from our old board.
I thought it was a nice format (restaurant name, report, then address) because I found it useful to track down restaurants.
Iāll reformat my reports to not plagiarize. Sorry about that. I feel bad about this; I think Iāll just excuse myself from the board.
Thanks @Porthos @J_L and all. Since ek is no longer around I guess asking all of you if my formatting is too similar (copying), and maybe I should just reformat?
And Porthos, JL, now I know you all are too kind and overstating things. I wish I could write half as well as all of you FTCāers and OG Hounds. My vocabulary is too limited and I donāt even know how to use ābeef forwardā properly.
I was just referring to the copying and pasting of the word āduplicateā itself.
last time this came up I got eviscerated for saying they were the same person with some claiming with irrefutable evidence they were different
Peopleās writing styles evolve while key elements remain.
I steadfastly dispute this, and offer myself as proof
some claiming with irrefutable evidence
sounds like the mypillow guy.

We should always post links to new @Chowseeker1999 reviews to this āWhere are they now?ā thread.
Itās hard to believe Connie & Tedās is now considered a fixture in the L.A. landscape, a long-time spot worth stopping by for excellent New England-style Seafood dishes. It felt like it was just a short time ago that Michelin-starred Chef...

I steadfastly dispute your steadfast dispute, and offer myself as proof. When I come across my early FTC reports I notice how my writing and reporting style has evolved but keywords and key elements of my personality remain.

My head is starting to hurt.
The great mystery of exilekiss, who burned bright and vanished suddenly. I love the sleuthing thatās been going on in this thread.
vanished
Or not.
This is honestly my favorite FTC thread ever. EK was (is?) awesome and a joy to read. Thatās it. Thatās the post.
And what ever happened to westsidegal? She was a frequent poster who also disappeared into the ether.
westsidegal
@westsidegal was the creator of the CTCFSS - Call to Check for Sergio Strategy.
She still posts - but rarely.
I even made some
incredible forensics workā¦the internet is truly undefeated.
for those still with doubts hereās some more āirrefutableā evidence using a daikon-to-daikon comparison from reviews of āKyoto-Style Oden Specialistā torihei, written more than 12 years apart.
Thereās a certain unbridled excitement when you discover culinary greatness, eating something that is so far beyond what youāve had before that it changes your paradigm and elevates the standard. And the feeling you get when that greatness is gone...
