You would have responded to him too if you had seen his posts, 11217.
And the key point, which DH alluded to earlier, is that the people in the OT on a regular asshat/usual suspect basis LIKE EACH OTHER. And we don’t automatically give each other crap. Once upon a time you too had the opportunity to chat with us, and you chose to turn that chatting into bickering, when you could have joined a community of really supportive and interesting people.
No BRG, I am quite familiar with Romper Room. Did not see it in the OT this time. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Are you really THIS catty?
Dave:
Mr. B’s note when he took down the OT said something about more than one poster being involved, so I don’t buy that story completely. If no one responded to said troll, it wouldn’t have been an issue. Am I correct?
I also find it interesting that people who used to comment regularly on the real estate threads….cobblehiller and Biff come to mind and now they seem to spend all day in the OT…my guess is they are fearful of insulting one of their friends out here in the ACTUAL threads which are supposed to be the heart and soul of this blog. I don’t mind getting into “fights” because I am not friends with any of you. You should be happy that a few of us still like to remain away from the fray, or else the whole thing would become one big OT.
It’s come to the point now where it seems the OT is the primary reason for coming to the blog now for some of you and the real estate is just a side note.
I HIGHLY doubt again that this is what Mr. B had in mind. And there are still those of us who do prefer talking about real estate over poo mist. I know that might be hard to believe.
nope – just disagree with you when you say the walk from Kent to Bedford is 20 minutes
and yeah – even if i do champion it i do it on Williamsburg threads (where it belongs), not Park slope threads.
Typical 11217 posting:
“why buy this townhouse in Clinton hill for _________ when you could buy this 2 bedroom in park slope for ________.
**insert link to corcoran.com here**”
That is:
Gee 11217, I wonder where you got this term from. Maybe while lurking in the OT you saw it being USED recently.
You got to admit that, given the price and the quality of the brownstone stock in Bed Stuy, that it has got to be the best of all neighborhoods. 🙂
The OT was shut down because it was hijacked by a troll posting things that would have been very upsetting to you as well. Mr. B couldn’t sort out all the individual posts so just took the whole thing down.
“romper room”
Gee 11217, I wonder where you got this term from. Maybe while lurking in the OT you saw it being recently.
Okay today’s words from the OT are:
immigrate and emigrate
Tomorrow try using them when you bring up Park Slope.
Maybe like this:
People ‘immigrate’ to Park Slope for other parts of Brooklyn because it’s the best neighborhood in the world.
and
People ’emigrate’ from Park Slope to other parts of Brooklyn because the people in Park Slope are ridiculous.
