Mr. B’s original write-up on the windows was commenting on and linking to a NY Post article which put NJ’s name in the headline. Presumably, the windows’ opponents were talking the celebrity angle up big-time. Mr. B is hardly the source of her exposure on this.
“Clearly you missed the words “Norah Jones” in Mr. B’s write-up of this post.”
Clearly you missed my point about the discussion that started between the posters.
No one that posted a comment mentioned the celebrity.
If it ticks you so much, email Mr. B. and take it up with him and address HIM and HIS use of the celebrity name.
Frankly, I really don’t care who owns this house or any house for that matter. I just like ‘ripping apart the houses’

I’m done arguing about it. We don’t agree.
I think it’s unnecessary to discuss the celebrity’s name associated with this house and you think it’s fine.
Done.
“Not to mention that Brooklyn is special in that it seems to attract celebrities who really value their privacy which is oftentimes why they’ve chosen Brooklyn over Manhattan.”
Okay, this is an absurd statement. Brooklyn is not a private gated community. It’s effing part of NYC. Paparazzi want to snap photos of celebrities, believe me they know where to find them.
Some streets in Manhattan have less foot traffic than ones in Brooklyn.
While I agree that the owner’s name and celebrity status is irrelevant, it was also widely reported on in connection with this house. NY’s daily newspapers reach many more people than read this site on a given day. Also, the owner was made part of the story by the allegation — not initiated here — that she got some kind of favoritism from the LPC. Her name has been linked to the news of these windows from the beginning. Maybe not fair to her, but not Mr. B’s doing.
“Ironically 11217, this discussion started out about the windows and facade and YOU first mentioned the celebrity aspect.”
Clearly you missed the words “Norah Jones” in Mr. B’s write-up of this post.
Minard,
Do you really think all celebrities are alike?
You might as well have said…do you really think Asians like it when people talk about them.
What an odd thing of you to defend picking apart someone’s house.
