Hannah and Mason....the end?

[Guest]

I have not had time to respond to this string but will do so now. This is not a debate over free speech as one poster suggested, that point is conceded. We can say what we will.

However, posting anonymous rants against an establishment - or its owners - is hardly productive. Share a review if you wish, and move on. The personal attacks are not warranted.

Personally, I enjoy going in several times a week for coffee and a snack, and occasionally for lunch. If you don't enjoy the cafe, don't go. If you have a grievance, make it known to the cafe or don't continue to eat there. It is that easy.

Petty anonymous comments are no longer necessary on this subject.

Well, if you don't like a certain establishment, for whatever reason, that's one thing.... but the absolute glee some people show when a business is forced to close its door blows my mind.

For people who take such "pride" in their town (and with the amout of silly Cranbury events you all have, you take a LOT of pride), it baffles me how you could take such pleasure from the idea of H&M closing its doors.

I know for a fact that every time, EVERY TIME, someone came to Chris or Brian for gift certificate or a donation of a platter of food for a charity event, they never said no. They didn't always have the money and probably shouldn't have been so generous, but you should be ashamed of yourselves for mean-spirited attitude you have about businesses in town.

I really enjoyed H&M and will miss it! Does anyone know if Chris is going to continue the catering end of the business?

As for the BR, I disagree with the post on the friendliness of the owners. We have always been greeted by them and they say hi when passing in town. They offer a good value and I find their soups, sandwiches and salads delicious. Not to mention the yummy pastries.

My only suggestion would be to have a little more help at the counter during the after school rush, especially if people are ordering labor intensive drinks such as lattes and hot chocolate.

I think the Finnegan's found a niche and filled it nicely!

I am so glad I am not your neighbor. You people must drive your neighbors nuts with your attitudes, arrogance and complaints.

Do you really need to bash a person over this detail?
So a French Restaurant should not spell their menu in French? Instead of Escargo it should be snails? An Indian restaurant should not use British language which many do because of British influence. The Blue Rooster is a cafe and European breads, hence the idea of British spelling. Her husband was trained in Europe.

Sending out personal attacks hiding behind guest or Cranman or whatever else is childish. If you are going to personally attack someone as you posters are doing then use your real name.

Yelling about someone's blog is also funny considering the posts people are making here. It's a blog, no one is forcing you to read it.

Online disinhibition effect - or web pollution. Being anonymous alllows one to vent some very toxic feelings without being responsible for these very strong views, often stating rude opinions as though they are facts.
