Biff and Six said it best.
Tosses out Ham and Cheeez croissants [in Rob’s honor]….
I’m guessing that Rob probably took himself out of the game himself, after a good scolding from Jon. He’s probably lurking today, and I hope he comes back, but I also hope he learns to edit himself. He is capable of nailing it right to the wall on some topics, and then mass spewage on others. I don’t think he said anything racist, but that term gets tossed around way too much.
Speaking of which, I also don’t think defending Jon is either sucking up or reminding everyone that we are playing with his ball and bat. I would have never interacted with, and then become friends with, such a great group of disparate folk without this blog. I’ve learned a lot about real estate, perhaps too much about what seems to be important to a lot of yuppie types here, and had my naievety dashed by some of the less than charitable remarks on a number of topics. I found my literary voice, as well. I also made some dollars selling at the Flea, so Jon Butler has been berry, berry good for me. (just dated myself, too) Nobody is perfect, nobody agrees with everyone at all times, and that is true in relationships, at work, with neighbors, or with friends.
Like Rob, I think the What nails it many times, and I have never denied that, or failed to give him his props when it happens. We vehemently disagree on many racial issues, which should go to show that black people certainly aren’t a monolith, nor should we be. I took issue with Jon on some of the crime reporting, and on other class and race issues, and will continue when I see fit. I just think it’s possible to disagree without being disagreeable.

“What, Rob definitely brings about a different and important perspective and I think he has a lot to add in the sense. Unfortunately, a lot of what he says gets lost within and across his posts and he loses supporters along the way.”
So true.
