Well unfortunately I do not think there is anything we can do about their bias bashing. They will continue to do it and for some reason Tripadvisor allows them to do so. They get away with not following TA guidelines and then flag anyone posts for TA to remove who question them.
They do this to anyone who questions their postings and they take control over any topic that anyone posts anything positive about our area. It can be a simple question someone asks about where to eat in Pahoa. And they turn it around to where they make the poster feel like they are going to get sick from the food or mugged or something. I mean why say that to anyone? Some of these people already have booked their lodging and made their plans already. Makes no sense - just say a name of a place to eat and let it be or better yet don’t say anything at all.
I have read many of their posts even from months back regarding Pahoa and lower Puna and no doubt they have driven people away and this clearly is there intention
Bottom line those "women" are no experts whatsoever and in my book not even good people in general as I do not see how they could have any true “Aloha spirit” and do what they do which is clearly out of malice and in no way should be representing the Island of Hawaii as "Destination experts". These women are on a trip themselves which is clearly a “power trip”as the experts do not get paid so it is a "power trip" they are on.
I'm sure kathyH reads Puna-web as no doubt uses everything against us and prior before we found out who she was on tripadvisor she acted like she was one of us and cared. Cleary she had/has other motives all along!
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgivng!
