As they say on the cop shows, “let’s move on people, there’s nothing here to see.”
Anyone who truly wants to have a discussion on race in America is not going to have it here. The woods are full of troll.
Sock puppets – a perfect description.
Spoken like a true troll, 11:22.
I don’t have to read the beginning of the thread. I wrote it.
“I don’t know why it would be “obvious”, 11:14, since the topic is in no way specific to Ft. Greene or its inhabitants. Last time I checked, the boundaries of Brooklyn extended far beyond Ft. Greene, and I’m pretty sure that hasn’t changed.”
Perhaps you should start reading from the beginning of this thread, particularly the question that was asked, which I reiterated at the start my post. Then perhaps you will comprehend the context of my response.
Good point, 11:17.
I also seriously question Mr. B’s ability to get an accurate read on people’s ip addresses. If he could do that, then he could ban the trolls who frequent this group.
“FWIW, the same person posted the comments at 8:35, 9:12, 9:14, and 9:16.”
I don’t get the point. These posts were all arguing the same side. This isn’t sock puppeting. So what exactly are you “catching” this person at? I’m sure people make multiple anonymous comments in the same post all the time. But it seems a little thin-skinned to dive in and check the IP address only when you’re offended by the argument. (Which I don’t even agree with, btw.)

Yeah, well Brower Park, suffice it to say that you are not in a position to speak for me or for anyone else. You have a right to your own opinion, which in this case is also your misfortune, but that’s about as far as it goes.
