Park Slope- Judgmental? You be the judge.

So a local writer is authoring a blog for Newsweek where she will attempt to be a "Freegan" for a month. It looks like it should be interesting.

However, I take a bit of exception to this sentence:

"But, I don't want Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio or any of the snotty people in my very green and very self-righteous neighborhood (if you Google “Park Slope, Brooklyn” and “judgmental,” you'll get more than 40,000 hits) to tell me that's it's going to be easy."

Sure, this board is evidence that folks in our neighborhood are firm in their convictions, but overall, we all get along okay. Is it fair to characterize us as snotty? Granted, there are a few among us that qualify for that name, but overall I think it's fairly harmonious here and the differences are respected.

So is our reputation well earned, fellow Brooklynites? Here's a link to the article.

btw, when I Googled "Park Slope" and "Judgmental", I only got 39,200 hits . Interestingly enough, when I Googled "Park Slope" and "Judgemental", I got almost 19,000. So call us poor spellers, but don't call us snotty.
