how can you possibly say anything about what posters on this site think or believe “as a group”? We don’t believe in anything “as a group.” There is a surprising amount of vigorous discussion and debate about all manner of issues, including poverty, that go far beyond the scope of a site dedicated to the vagaries of home ownership in brownstone Brooklyn. You have no idea of the lives posters live away from this site — the things they care about, the causes they support, the volunteer work they do, etc. Of course people are going to talk about houses and real estate on a site devoted to that topic. And the OT is just a place to banter. And why are you assuming that everything everyone else posts reflects their true selves, when you have so self-consciously adopted a persona that you have admitted is at odds with how you really are?
slopefarm, it is VERY MUCH at odds with how he really lives. This is apparently stevie’s only social outlet.
stevieB, the reason the government needs to extend TARP is because it is managed by the governmetn and, by definition, mismanaged.
But Goldman has already repaid so GET OFF THEIR CASE.

>>stevie, is janko you’re hero or just your sockpuppet???
Janko is elderly, not very educated, and has mild dementia. We need to be nicer to him on here. No, he is not my hero.

make sure you’re near a toilet and have some raspberry ass-wipes for the next 2 hours.
