Restaurateur jailed for customer sex profile revenge plan

A restaurant owner is facing 90 days of jail time and two years of probation after waging an online smear campaign, including setting up a fake online sex profile, to get revenge on a customer who gave her establishment a bad review.
The saga began after of Canadian Elayna Katz went out to dinner at the Mambo Nuevo Latino restaurant in Ottawa. When ordering her meal she told the waitress that she didn't like olives, but then found them in the jambalaya and was unsatisfied with the server's response to her complaint.
Katz left a business card with a note asking for the owner to call her over the issue but got no response from the restaurant. So she did what many people would do and posted a bad review of the restaurant online.
The owner of the restaurant reacted rather badly to the review, to say the least. Marisol Simoes, 42, left a flurry of posts at the reviews site, including personal information about Ms Katz. She also emailed the woman's boss and work colleagues pretending to be Katz, offering sex and claiming to be transgendered.
"I am open to anything — couples, threesomes and group sex. Am especially into transsexuals and transgenders (being one myself). I am … a tiger in the bedroom," read the email. Simoes also posted an advert on an adult dating site with similar language under the "men seeking men" section, using Katz's wedding photos that were posted online.
Simoes, who also owns Ottowan sushi restaurant Kinki, blamed the emails on a disgruntled ex-employee, but was convicted of two counts of criminal libel over the affair. In addition to her jail time she will have to do 200 hours of community service and take an anger management course.
"All I was doing was exercising my right as a customer to give my opinion on the situation as it was," Katz told CBC News. "I don't think the retaliation was exactly merited." ®

You just had to hold the damn olives, Simoes
That story is rather vague. If I'm your waiter and you tell me you don't like olives, yeah, well, who gives a shit what you like or don't like?
If you order something with olives and ask me to have them leave out the olives, then I need to make sure they know that in the kitchen.
Then it says she wasn't satisfied with the response to her complaint, what does that mean? What WAS the response? For all we know they offered her a free drink or something and she copped an attitude.

Well that's silly.

yes your total lack of compassion is a great reason to go on a smear campaign
The only thing I can think of when I see your name is crazy conspiracy theories (RED LIGHTS = THE MAN KEEPING US DOWN) and completely batshit insane awkward social commentaries (like this one)

But if you don't like olives why order a food with olives ?????
[QUOTE=zakedodead;38521751]But if you don't like olives why order a food with olives ?????[/QUOTE]I admit that I'm not very familiar with Jambalaya, but from what I can gleam from casual Internet Detective-ing olives are not considered an absolutely essential part of the dish. Ordering a Jambalaya but requesting no olives would thus be more like ordering a burger and asking to hold the cheese, rather than ordering a burger and asking to hold the beef.
