Open Thread

What;

Since MM wrote, I’ll break my silence too and engage you just this once.

I ask you to go take a look at the Furman Thread today. A civil discussion on RE prices,and I am man enough to admit when I am wrong about something. I am willing to talk with everyone on Brownstoner, with the exception of you, and your sock-puppet, BHO. I will not engage with you unless you clean up you act,in the following ways:

-first and foremost, by engaging other folks as if they are equally intelligent,caring human beings who just might have a different opinion or POV. I am here on this site to learn, and engage others in dialogue, NOT to be a prop in your phony show. If you continue to insist on rules of engagement in which someone’s opinion is just mere fodder for your next “cut-and-paste” rant,then I will not engage with you.

-secondly, I will not engage with you if you continue to write in the form of a vulgar, disrespecful rant. We all lose our temper here now and then, but you make it a practice and moreover, you view it as part of your phony show.

I’ve got much better things to do with my life than engage with a bad street actor. You have shown that you can engage with others in a civil manner. If you want to start doing so with me, that will be fine – I’ll do so too. The ball is is your court. Absence any change, I continue in my stance of not engaging with you, and to urge others to do likewise.

who moved my cheese?

In fact the opposite is true about Madoff’s clients. they all thought Bernie was wiser than they were and so they trusted him. That anyone would consider Bernie Madoff a hero after the man ruined Elie Weisel and his foundation (among thousands of others)is disgusting. And completely wrong. Madoff destroyed the life savings of many many people who weren’t rich, just trying to augment their savings. Like all of us- even you, What.

Woo hoo. My switch over to Team Bear was a good move after all!

“He’s not leash trained yet 😉 Biff, can he get past the bouncer? For that matter, can I?”
cmu, I forgot about you Union Hall “experience” prior to our first gathering. I don’t believe they have bouncers at Floyd NY, but if they do and they refuse you entrance, we will all walk out and vow to start a Brownstoner Boycott of the place.

I’m thinking about it, but if it means I have to share the locker room with certain characters, it’s unappealing.
