This began today as an honest difference of opinion between you and me. I thought you were inconsistent in calling out Mr. B for failing to report crime in his hood when in the past you blasted him as a race/class warrior for reportin gon crime in his hood. I didn’t call you names or call you out or anything. I expressed my disagreement with your post. If you don’t want reactions to your posts, email Mr. B privately and leave the rest of us out of it.
You escalated this by blasting everyone who disagrees with you. Instead of responding to the points I raised or that montrose raised, you gratuitously hauled out the n-word brouhaha of a few weeks ago to score a rhetorical point against MM. I didn’t raise it, you raised it. But since you raised it, I wanted to know why you made such a big deal about that word but let the b-word slide when it was used to your face last monday.
The bottom line is, you do not like to be pinned down with hard questions that challenge the logic of you prositions. You evade, change the topic and blast posters who dare to challenge you.
I thought you wrote weeks ago that the what/DIBS n-word flap was closed. But since you reopened it to score points against montrose, I wonder why you let a certain three letter word beginning with “b” slide by last week when BHO called you it. If DIBS or I called you that word, you’d have our hide and rightly so. Have you met BHO face-to-face and know his skin color, or is the rule that your allies get to use racially derogatory language with you no matter what their race is, but your enemies don’t?
OMFG did you guys just read this!? i saw it posted over on gothamist. it’s about american apparel. total sketchballs!

While it’s probably not too unbelievable that American Apparel has a certain aesthetic they like to portray to their legions of customers donning mesh v-necks, it may be more surprising to hear that… actually this isn’t that surprising either. According to a Gawker tipster, Dov Charney “is demanding the firing of employees he deems unattractive and thus detrimental” to said aesthetic.
The tipster, an employee of AA, claims that Charney recently freaked out due to a dip in sales (and that big check he has to write to Woody Allen), and as such made every store send in a group photograph of the staff. The ones labeled unattractive by the head honcho were encouraged to be fired—allegedly something many managers were scared not to due lest they get fired themselves. This isn’t new to the world of retail, last month an Abercrombie & Fitch employee was banished to the stock room for having a prosthetic arm.
We reached out to AA for a comment, but have yet to hear back. To be fair, it’s still early on the West Coast and they probably need their beauty sleep.

Or maybe Gawker is right and he should join Fleet Foxes.
BTW, I don’t get the hype about that band.
The Abbey is the best bar in Brooklyn. I once threw a baby shower there, back when they allowed smoking.

Is it “Boy”? “Bee”? “BBQ”?
banished for a prosthetic arm? I hope that guy files a lawsuit- that discrimination based on a disability.
