Whether it be his readers or the wait staff at Bar Bambino, Eater editor extraordinaire, Paolo Lucchesi, can get almost anyone whipped up into a frothy frenzy. Take, for example, the very innocent post he posted up yesterday, linking to Lauren Smiley's feature article on Yelp in this week's SF Weekly. The article, more or less, is about how business owners strive to keep Yelpers happy in order to get good reviews. (Great job, Lauren!) But the real meat here is Eater mentioning the "Yelp elite" via a quote from said article, which prompted the comments section to explode.

What's the dust-up all about? We can't say for sure, exactly. But any comment thread boasting such terms as "you losers are so jealous of yelp," "douchebags," "leeches," and "AIDS-ridden cock" is well worth your time. Check it out.
