anon 5:58- If that’s your idea of “excellent communication” I believe your age/maturity level must be 4. (and I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt).
Who has time for such trivial matters? What of the miele/bosch decision 07? Start small people. Appliances today, social justice tomorrow.
well anon 3:48 YOU obviously DO need advice about how to communicate with others.
I really do think that this thread should be added to a “Best of Brownstoner” area of this site.
Mr. B, what do you think about this idea?
When we need your advice about how to communicate with others, we’ll ask for it. Until that time, kindly shut your pie hole.
It’s easy to see why this is not a venue for an intelligent discussion of racism. No one has to take responsibility for what they say on blogs like this. You want to talk about racism, or Anti-semitism or the park Slope Moms, or PLG, do a face to face discussion, instead of trying to have a meaningful talk with various trolls or malicious folk who just want to be able to vent racist nonsense but not take responsibilty for it.
just seeing this thread now.
do you realize what a bunch of whackos you sound like?
if you ACTUALLY want to do something, organize a live forum or something, but to post comment after comment of ridiculous anonymous nonsense is really quite useless.
and it’s actually detracting away from this site quite a bit today.
The elephant in the Parlor here is not rascism but the income/wealth gap that separates the brownstoners from the majority of stoop-sitters in the rest of Brooklyn. Also not represented at the wine tasting were dishwashers, janitors and laborers.
Oh, I started with 10:48am, and the above time references followed.
