The truth about Stone Park
Months ago, there were some posts about Stone Park that got deleted. Somehow, a lot of people have falsely assumed this was due to "threats of litigation" from Stone Park. This is absolutely false. As the board owner, I can assure you that there have been absolutely no threats of lawsuits from Stone Park.
This is essentially what happened:
1. Someone posted to the boards that they got "food poisoning" and they were convinced that eating at Stone Park caused it.
2. A Brooklynian poster vocally and repeatedly protested this statement. (We could find no evidence that this poster was affiliated with Stone Park.)
3. A decision was made that, yes, it was impossible to prove or disprove this fairly serious claim of food poisoning. Hence the "deleted" posts.
Just to put this in perspective, it's not unusual that certain restaurant issues would not be appropriate for discussion on Brooklynian: Chowhound, the premier site for commentary on NY restaurants, specifically disallows reports of food poisoning, bugs and foreign objects found in food.
A request: If you are one of the Brooklynians who posted about "threats of litigation" without any evidence of that, it would be really responsible to EDIT or DELETE your post so this gets cleared up.
Now let's all be cool. OK? Thanks!
