<p>Yes, the two are different, but not entirely so, and any difference is likely to be much more keenly perceived by the author of that perception rather than by the author of the statement to which it refers. For that reason, at various points, our House Rules include the following</p>

<p>Yes, a happy community is the goal. It's always going to be the case that some people cross the line, wherever you are. We do our best to keep things civil. Happy to be contacted about the things we miss. </p>

<p>Of course it's fine for you to disagree, but please try and keep things respectful. Calling someone else stupid isn't respectful and warrants editing or removal.</p>

<p>I think its just the general direction that the discussions are going. The facts are (1) the takeaway appears to be shutting (2) some people are sad -they really like the food (3) others didn't like the food. I'm happy about the difference of opinion and encourage constrictive debate. Happy that some comments are modified that may be upsetting. I would really like us to be a happy community that shares opinions (but not insults)</p>

<p>Sorry you're feeling that way, Alice. </p>
<p>There were a couple of rather sharp comments on this post which were edited out yesterday. Are there others you take exception to? I'll happily take a look. </p>
<p>We try and draw the line between not over-moderating whilst keeping things relatively respectful. We're careful as to who we allow on the site, keep an eye out for the worst transgressions and always react quickly to any complaints. Questionable posts or comments are edited or…</p>

<p>I feel really sad when these discussions get personal. Should people not be able to air their views about a place? Some say good and others say bad. Obviously we've all just had different experiences and that's ok. I'm pleased we can all comment with our personal experiences and would expect them to be respected. What makes me really sad is the leap from commenting on the quality of restaurants to making assertions about people's motives and personalities. This (and other discussions…</p>

What makes me really sad is the leap from commenting on the quality of restaurants to making assertions about people's motives and personalities. This (and other discussions recently) are putting me off commenting on posts and using hol.

<p>It seams to have closed down - such a shame - went there for lovely big bowls of noodle soup - perfect on cold or wet wintery days. I for one have missed it already.</p>
