This honestly sounds like a failure to research on your part and blaming RN and claiming they were unethical is in my opinion, hyperbolic.
Black Bear Diner is a smallish chain, and that particular location had participated in the past. However, the chain is bigger than I realized -- they've been expanding.
I am under the impression that the ONLY restaurant chains that advertise on the RN website are those that have at least SOME participation in RN. It's not just random restaurants that advertise there, as far as I can tell.
Anyhow, being hyperbolic is very much in the spirit of FT, and I am glad that I woke up this sleepy backwater of a forum with my hyperbole!
