Actually, the OT is EXACTLY where this conversation should be moved to lest your intent was to highjack this thread with your back and forth insults.
Meet you there?
11217 you need to join dirty hipster, snappy, and myself for 40s in park slope!
*rob*
see, that’s why I like 11217. I often don’t agree with him but I sure do respect his feistiness – only DIBS has same fight in him. Most other combatants would’ve been KO’d already.
11217, I’ve made comments in a number of other threads recently. Maybe not so much today and maybe less than I used to, but that is because I’m respecting some of the feedback Mr.B has received asking for the “usual suspects” to tone it down and give others a chance to comment in various threads. It doesn’t mean I don’t read the other threads. I simply am commenting less in them to minimize the fraternizing that we’ve been trying to limit to the Open Thread.
We’ve had our differences and I’ve not brought you into any discussion since the last one and would appreciate it if you would do the same. I’m not involved in this argument.
Cobblehiller:
The difference is that you consider yourself a lot more interesting than I do. I don’t find 99% of what is discussed in the OT interesting, so why would I feel like I’m missing out…? Yes, I’ve had opportunities to join in and I choose not to because I didn’t find the conversations interesting to me. You choose to talk about what you want to talk about, and I’ve decided to get into heated conversations about real estate. Since this IS a blog about real estate, I’m not quite sure why you find that so offensive.
I read brownstoner when I’m bored at work for entertainment and then hang out with my real friends after work and weekends. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s a little more the norm, in case you’ve forgotten.
(seems he knows about the poo mist as well!)

11217, I don’t comment in other threads because of discussions that get inflammatory, negative, and heated with you, and others like you. I mainly just read them now, and comment more selectively.
“Are you really THIS catty?”
Actually I’m really a very friendly, nice and considerate person…..but somehow YOU bring out the worst in me.
I do like your posts though, you are entertaining.
Yes, DH:
And when you make your first real estate purchase you will realize that people do in fact compare neighborhoods like that when they are looking. I did it…I certainly didn’t ONLY look in Park Slope. There are people on this blog that come here for information on topics and when you get to the point of buying you will realize that comparisons are basically what enable one to become more informed about prices and everything else.
Just because I link something doesn’t mean someone needs or wants to buy it. I’m just putting information out into the world. If it’s not for you…skip it and move on. I don’t know why that would personally offend you.
You also have a selective memory, because I’ve many times linked properties in other neighborhoods.
Good recommendation for Aurora today, btw.
