And Your Little Dog Too

From the spineless, cowardly, always lurking "Anonymous," that multiheaded, no-brained monster that is so proud of its own opinion that it cannot bring itself to put its own name to it, we get the following recent entry. From: "Anonymous" To: rogersparkbench@yahoo.com Subject: [Rogers Park Bench] New comment on New AlderTrack Site "Monster". Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "New AlderTrack Site "Monster"": Mr. Mannis. It's your new friend Toto. I read your silly blog about zoning and it is indeed a Monster. The monsterous part about it is that such a well groomed conservative voice like yours wants to get on the anti zoning change bandwagon. Bad rhetorical form, imbecile. You don't write to somebody in the hope of convincing them of your viewpoint by insulting them in the first paragraph. "Silly blog," indeed. Look, three things, here: First, my blog is not "about zoning." Second, if you've seen me lately you'd know that I'm not terribly well groomed. Leaving the corporate world has allowed me the luxury of not shaving daily. Third, the posting that you "responded" to, "New AlderTrack Site 'Monster'," was NOT about zoning but about another website. As an example, one of the first zoning changes on your link referenced two flats zoned as residential in the 2700 block of N. Elston Avenue. Look, you brainstem, I didn't reference ANY zoning changes in that post, nor have I posted about zoning changes "in the 2700 block of N. Elston Avenue." Next. Blah blah blah blah blah blah... The courts look at the following factors when considering a zoning change: Blah blah blah blah blah blah... As a fellow conservative, I would hope that you would favor government acting with reasonable restraint in all laws, including zoning... Blah blah blah blah blah blah.... Hey, dummy, conservative or not, you're an idiot. Did it occur to you to actually read my blog before you started your protracted protestation about a subject on which I have not posted? It is certainly appropriate to object loudly when it appears zoning changes are made ... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Huh? However, to get on the anti-zoning change bandwagon is bad news for investment...Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Most of Chicago's northside joined the residential downzoning bandwagon in recent years. The effect of downzoning so much residential property has in part led to ... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... So I would advise ...Blah blah blah blah blah blah... No, actually, you would not advise me. Please feel free to not write to me again. Oh, and stop harassing the other bloggers in the hood, too. You do know we're all laughing about you, don't you? Publish this comment. Reject this comment. Moderate comments for this blog.
