Dishing some inside news is one thing, but changing a thread title and spreading the gospel before something's been formally announced by a verified source is another. Personally, I think this is unacceptable--it diminishes the integrity of the content shared on ArchBoston.
It's cool to see the City & metro fill in, a privilege to see the pieces forming a big jigsaw puzzle that will make the next chapter. We're able to get an advanced preview about many good ideas being set forth. We listen to everyone's ideas
here and test a few of our own.
Some very smart people contribute. Like that great article you wrote in the Globe. Please write more. The City needs it.
People's contributions on this forum, The Globe and at public meetings vary widely. No one has all the answers. Sometimes smart folks can get offended by others they feel aren't making a good effort. i miss F-Line's contributions. In an odd sort of way, i miss Wiggy's as well. They had a bit of a tussle over a number of days. Then they left. Weird.
F-Line is a genius. And he could be downright hostile. No one has the right to treat any member of this board in that manner.
We have a few provocateurs who occasionally throw pies. Clearly, no one will ever think of you in that way. i like your idea about a round-table. i think it would help people understand where some people are coming from, and make a friendlier vibe on the board.
Pardon if i come off a bit curt. i recognize people have different priorities. Some have a predisposition for accuracy and form. That's good. But i don't know if you possess the temperament to be a moderator. You don't demonstrate the correct mix of detached levity and frivolity, imo; You don't always seem receptive to different ideas – including those from the unwashed masses.
The mods have been slow to invoke the ban hammer and play executioner. Bostonian's sometimes have a short fuse. There are people who sometimes express the desire to see a quick hook. The mods are wiser. They recognize there's no cause for that. Or enemy's lists. That's not what the forum needs.
What brings me here? i want to see the City go a bit vertical. But i'm also worried Boston isn't creating adequate opportunity (mostly in the form of living space) for young professionals and the next generation coming up. We don't have a huge public school population, but shouldn't we be doing more to ensure at least some will be able to make a home here someday?
i'm not just about the highrises. i see 1 Charlestown as one of the most important projects in the City, and i will fight to see it is built. i see a small minority of
selfish old people who come to sit on these iag's and bully City planners. A few almost seem hellbent on ruining Boston's future. i feel bad for the dedicated people of the Walsh Admn who have to put up with their crap.
i take on the nimby's in the Globe. But, they're less likely to act out when they're sitting across from me. We want to believe that for every yimby, there's a better chance the developer will have the flexibility to put up the right brick.
i came on aB after spending many years blogging with car enthusiasts, psychopaths and mental defectives on the Porsche forums. i have hundreds of friends, despite my famous dumping upon the '944 model,' known the world over. Porsche's are an incredibly expensive hobby. Nevermind the 911's. We have $120,000 944's and 968's. My claim to fame is advising college kids to wait before jumping in. Emotion's run high when they blow up. This forum is definitely more formal.
Let's not take ourselves too seriously here folks.
