Kens, I agree with Benson on this with 11217. When 11217 starts something on a particular thread, handle your business there & then until the next encounter triggering another response. for example, when WHAT comes after me, I fight back there & then but I leave him alone when he isn’t bothering me. In this case, 11217 didn’t come after us TODAY.
11217’s park slope bias doesn’t bother me. I really find it entertaining when I debate him or he debate others. I really miss his presence. When he goes too far, set him straight right there & then (ie as happened with his unemploymt remarks to CH)
People take their positions way too seriously here and get way too involved in trying to convince others to agree. This is a freaking blog – mainly for entertainment purposes. Be a smart reader – filter out what’s good, bad, to-be-ignored, etc.
Benson, you need to chill a little and post more often cause as a lurker then I found your posts very interesting reading and sometimes educational.
“Benson, I am not part of any “clique” and you don’t see people “firing” at me.”
Kens, you didn’t get your Usual Suspect membership certificate yet in the mail that also came with the secret Pathetic Loser handshake instructions?
Benson, I am not part of any “clique” and you don’t see people “firing” at me. If you are going to be stating in the restaurant review forums how good looking you are and how you get to go in front of the line because of that at some overrated restaurant, you deserve everything that’s coming to you. Expect to be called out and mocked. This is not TMZ or a gossip blog. This is a real community blog and no one likes a show off or someone who acts like they are above someone else. That’s Brooklyn for you.
If anyone wants to know why I don’t post on the open thread anymore, look no further than today’s thread. I’ve been refraining from posting, but yesterday jumped in to offer some advice to a person in distress. The follow-up? See above. You can’t win when your dealing with a clique.
Fire away at 11217 and me, if you wish. All I know is that guys like him, Polemecist, Dittoburg and others made this site interesting, and they are disappearing one-by-one.
There are many relatively unknown great Italian restaurants all over that have got to be better than this place. They are the ones that I miss having left Mnahattan…Cantina Toscan on the UES with baby eels, asparagus sformatills (sp?), pappardelle with wild boar ragu. Gimmie a break
is blue ribbon the sushi place that is near there? i ate at some sushi place around there when i first moved in. i have no opinion on the food because i dont have much of a palate really.

Don’t worry, I’m sure that was directed at me Ken…
Benson,
Not that I was asking for advise (it was more of an aggravated rant) but yes, your post was I’m sure helpful to some and I responded in kind.
Today, merely stating factual information gathered through first hand experience.
That’s all.
I miss ditto. And I would miss benson if he left.

Benson, have you done any modeling in your youth?
