        You know, I added a couple of posts yesterday, and I guess they did not meet the website's "approval" because they were not accepted. I guess they only take "good" comments.

          Might take time for the comments to get posted. I checked through the site and there are some hostels with less then four and five star ratings.

              Wow Chris that's crazy what they did. I played the Mp3 in my dorm room in college....I got a really weird look from my roomie when all of a sudden the F-bomb was being dropped all over the place. Interesting business strategy. I was waiting for a "What do you think this is..? A Holiday Inn" Best part of the story is that people took you in. Must have been a relief
              Go take a hike

                  this helps

                  I was looking for a new hostel location for my annual winter trip--just to get closer to mountains I need for my winter 46. I'll avoid the High Peaks Hostel after hearing that message. DLHiker

                    Read the very last section in grey text. So well said that it deserves posting in this thread.

                        Kevin did you ever get a response from the e-mail you sent? If so I would be interested in hearing how they responded.

                          I have received confirmation from others that the impact was felt, but neither Chris nor I have received any direct communications from anyone connected to the hostel.

                          My intent was to alert the tourism community in Lake Placid that this behavior was transpiring. What they do with that information is their own business.

                            I confirm. No backlash so far. I thought about filing for harrassment, but it seems like too much work. I guess these guys figure that they can just float on by without the internet, because they havn't replied here as they said they would.

                              But that was before she realized that the message she left on your voice mail would be saved for public consumption.

                              The fact is that no matter what did happen, the oscene voice mail message is indefensible.

                              I mean what do you say? "Once a year my slutmouth inner child rears it's ugly tongue!" ?
