Dear Anonymous Coward:

Wow, this person just posted this very ugly response to our Paris, Day 1 blog entry.

how about wearing something appropriate to jules verne, (even for lunch)gentlman should have a jacket and lady should NOT be wearing jeans. and take that gay earing out man. this is why the rest of the world hates us americans. you have no class! read the dress code before you go someplace.

First of all, this person is a coward, calling us names and then not signing its name. Second, it wrote all in lower case, certainly a tell-tale sign of its lack of attention to detail and class. Third, the wonderful thing about the Jules Verne (in which I'm sure he has never dined, and made this comment because of extreme jealousy) is that they were kind to us even though we were jet-lagged and dressed casually. They did not act like snobs and deny us service. We were made to feel as welcome as the French family all dressed in jeans and casual attire and the business folks having a leisurely meal. This person who wrote the heinous comment is the one without class, and if you know it (or him/her), please slap it for me. COWARD, give me your name and place of origin so that I may respond to you with a clear visual in mind. Right now, my visual of you is a really good one. Anyone else have a visual of this loser?

I'd never make the mistake of calling Ben a "gentlman" so you know it wasn't me.

I see your anonymous poster as looking suspiciously like Leonard Temko, counting on a facade of faux (like my French word in the Paris comment? Apropos, n'est-ce pas?) illiteracy to hide his identity.

For the record...I am NOT the author of that comment. For we too were recently in Paris mangling their language, offending (with certainty!) their sensibilities with our American ways...and walking...with great weight (well me anyway) upon the terra firma that is their country...

If extreme jealousy is all it would take, then I'm a candidate..but it ain't me...don't know a thing about dress codes..

If they are critiquing your clothing to dine - so bourgeois, and so not parisien....
