snarky, yes – as was intended.
brownstoner.com is an online community. those who have registered and post only under that registered name have formed and are constantly shaping their identity in that online community. those who post as anons have no singular identity in that community – their posts can only be associated with a generic mass. my point is not to discredit a comment b/c it comes from an anon – there are many high quality anon posts. my point is merely to identify the posts i was singling out. if i could have associated them with an identity other than the generic anonymous i would have.
The funds for actually building the park -as opposed to just knocking down the big tin sheds- is still about 150 million dollars short. The naysayers may end up being right for another ten years.
BKL, I’m just saying as per your comment “another never gonna happen call from the knowledgable anons” (a little snarky, no?) I imagine there have been plenty of registered people who might have said “never gonna happen” to any assortment of issues(as you have) and been wrong, so why its gotta always be about anons? thats all..- guest @7:48
I rarely pipe up, but I guess i’m trying to stick up for the people who choose not to register . If my point is lost on you guys than maybe thats why i dont pipe up much.
btw, although I may choose to be a “guest” here, i am born and bred, live and work Brooklyn, I just dont think i need to develop a “web personality” on a blog where even though we can pick our names, we’re still anonymous in the real world, not a good or bad thing, just my choice. -peace
> means “greater than”, as long as the item/number listed is placed on the left-hand side. Any item/number placed on the right-hand side is “lesser than”. This symbol used in elementary level mathematics.
BLove is using this as a way of saying that Ratner is more powerful or superior to the TV show “The Real World” or people who follow and don’t think for themselves.
did you go to grade school 9:44?
wtf does > mean?
I agree with the comments on this thread. Though I sometimes joke about it, I’ve come to believe that a fair amount of people who post on brownstoner prefer abandoned buildings, decrepit warehouses, trash, graffitti, and low-level criminal activity (prostitution, marijuana sales) to the gentrification that is taking place.
I think it’s because many of them have never lived in a blighted area and therefore view the above social ills from a safe distance, as though these things were as “cool” or “hip” and define what it means to be urban.
