"How Some Yelpers Are Holding Restaurant Hostage" by Holley Simmons on washingtonpost.com

Here's the actual quote (at the very end):  Yelp isn't the only way to go. Alternative review sites include TripAdvisor, Foursquare and donrockwell.com, a local restaurant forum that has a 10-year archive of community-provided reviews.

I saw it in today's Express if you want a physical copy.

Thanks NolaCaine. Holley interviewed me a few weeks ago - she was courteous, professional, and did her job well: I knew when she didn't reply to an email that it was time for me to shut up. :) She told me she was doing a piece about alternatives to Yelp, and that's exactly what she did.

An even better one that nicely sums up how many feel about Yelp power users:

"I take it personally in the same way I'd take it personally if my niece or nephew hurt my feelings," Gray says. "You realize it's just a child talking."
