Park Slope is a microcosm of our larger society?!?!?
Now I'm going to have nightmares.
Thanks.

Oh look. Old Time Brooklyn thinks something sucks. It must be a day ending in a "Y." -
Dude's overrated, what can I say. NY Trilogy is great though. Especially like how it's influenced "Lost."

All my thoughts, after reading this whole thread:
* Hashing out whether or not there was a racial basis for this encounter is obscuring the main point -- that the woman who ran into LTT was an arrogant and rude little prat, who is probably no doubt going to have a nervous breakdown when she learns that the economy is going to keep her from having her weekly pedicure. The ensuing depression will cause her to lose her job, and then her apartment, and you will both pass her on the street as she's moving out at which point you can say "maybe you should go back to YOUR own neighborhood -- oh, look, you are!." And while you're saying that, your dog will pee on all her shoes.
* Hashing out whether "c*nt" is an appropriate word also obscures the point somewhat, I think. It's rude, yes, but people do get mad enough to use rude words when something just incenses them. Granted, people can ALSO get incensed by the use of rude words. But in that case, my ideal, as-long-as-I'm-dreaming-I'd-also-like-a-pony scenario would be for someone else simply to say "I really am bothered by that word, it's just a thing, sorry," and the person who said it to say, "oh, whoops, yeah, I'm sorry too, I just got really mad, you know?" and the first person to say, "I hear ya -- but apology accepted," and avoid a lengthy dissertation on the appropriateness of a word. (I was at NYU at the highwater mark of the Politicaly Correct movement and I have nightmares still.)
* Personally, I categorized "this is why I'm glad I don't own a gun" in the same category as "oooooh, I'm so mad I'm gonna kill him!" People say stuff like that, but very, very rarely mean it. We don't take them seriously. I'm not personally worried about LTT's violent tendancies any more than I'm worried that my boyfriend is going to abuse me when he says "I'm so gonna kick your ass" when we're playing Scrabble.
* ...A favor for Daver? Um, back off on Old Time Brooklyn a skoche, maybe? Not everything he posts is snarkworthy. ....Or spongeworthy, for that matter, but I don't know if anyone is keeping track of such things anyway so never mind.

Tell you what, as soon as he apologizes for threatening to find out where I live and kill my children, I'll see what I can do. How about that?

Yeah, you're the victim, that's hilarious.
You fit right in in the Pussified Slope. -

Go ahead and complain to mods about how mean I am to you again... They haven't asked me to be nice to you for at least a week. -
You're such a creepy stalker.

Yea, but did you really threaten his kids??? Cause that's bannable...IMO -
non MOD commentary: I think taking the high road is often a great idea. I did that when quitting my most recent job. they still fucked me over. but ... now I have the paper to prove it and ... guess who took the high road? however, as I commented in the PH gay bashing thread, I also talk back sometimes. I basically like to think of my reactions to situation like a poker game: I never regret a fold and never regret playing out a hand. I refuse - it'd make the game depressing if I did. I fold 7/3 off-suit and the board flops 773? sure I'm like "damn, if only ..." but since the chances of that happening are like 1 in 70 trillion, whatever. same with when I talk back or don't. sometimes I talk back and in a millisecond realize ... "I'm gonna get punched in the face" and then I just accept it. or I say something so silly, or really lame, that I'm embarrassed at how poorly my defense worked. but I also accept that. you gotta live with the shit you dish and the shit you take, and that's that.
MOD NOTE: cool off, enough with the "cunt" and "bitch" and "pussy" talk. yes. we all like to curse a lot (at least I do) but at the same time, let's be a little more respectful of peoples' sensibilities especially in a thread about a woman being verbally attacked by another woman. caseo, sweetie, love you, and I do buy your use of cunt. I just think we need to stop. me, I like using it in the british way, but hey? OTB and daver: plz stop. thx. -

Not bannable apparently, but they _did_ remove it from the board...

Howdy, Stranger!
