Taking a break from all things deepfried only to discover a bit of a local uproar centering on Chapel Hill restaurant Jujube and its presence, or rather lack thereof, on Chowhound. You can read more about it here and particularly here which includes a response from Jujube's chef in the comments. I'm an infrequent poster at Chowhound but I do read it regularly. In fact, I was reading one of the now-deleted threads this morning and it was deleted while I was reading it. Literally. I tabbed away from the thread and when I came back 10 or so min. later it was gone when I reloaded the page. And, as others mentioned, when I wrote a comment asking the mods why the posts were being deleted, that thread disappeared. No mod wrote to tell me why the topic was unacceptable. Again, like many others, it's the silence of the moderators while they're wholesale deleting topics that I find rather egregious. Yes, it's their forum and they can do as they please. And, yes, being a forum moderator is a pain-in-the-ass thankless task. Neither of those immunizes mods from criticism if they're doing something stupid. Which this certainly seems to be.
Note: at risk of totally destroying my local foodgeek cred, I should point out that I've not yet been to Jujube. I'm not a regular, biased insider, investor or relative of the chef.
