It's too bad because they were different from these blogs, they censored yes but it was also a way to hear from people who don't want to start there own blog. <br /><br />Things are getting stupid anyway so....big deal.<br /><br />uptownarts.blogspot.comJeffreyLittletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347643493227598515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073419105741504751.post-90193449008697641622013-02-07T17:27:17.412-06:002013-02-07T17:27:17.412-06:00@ Al Iverson,

That was wrong. <br /><br />Sorry about the "phone call from hell" everyone, wont do it again. :)<br />That was one hell of a phone call, hopefully someday I can live that down. PHEW!!!!<br /><br />This blog isnt about getting "even" its about having a voice for Rogers Park and for people to discuss here if they want to and just point out whatever is relevant and interesting. Thanks for posting AI, I have missed conversing with the rest of the community during the exile. <br /><br />I agree about not missing the negative aspects of EB.

It felt to me like you took your toys and went home, and I was saddened to see that happen. Not that I necessarily agreed with the phone call etc., but that is beside the point.<br /><br />I'm torn regarding the loss of EB overall. It was a good forum to get to know more neighbors.<br /><br />They had a jerk problem. Some people were mean, would troll, etc. It made it less useful, and it was disappointing to see some people who supposedly did at one point believe in having neighborhood related discussions come back and try to fake people out with pretend posts.<br /><br />Also, I'm kind of glad I'm not going to be having those neighborhood discussion in front of the public in the future, because at least one of those bozos did stuff like, come and take pictures of us doing positive loitering, then posting a blog post mocking us for trying to do something good. It's disappointing and childish.<br /><br />Some of those people are taking this moment to gloat about the loss of EB. About how some of us are now forced to meet neighbors in person. Also childish and churlish, considering a lot of us were already pretty good at getting to know our neighbors. EB was a way to extend that and meet even more good people.<br /><br />So, I'm going to miss that. But frankly, if the loss of EB means I'm not going to meet people who do that kind of trolling or post hateful garbage any more, then that's a good thing. I really won't miss those of you who did that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073419105741504751.post-18574893604107663052013-02-07T16:48:09.554-06:002013-02-07T16:48:09.554-06:00Hellhole is a piece of shit and so is this blog.

Moving the discussion there would be just moving from one sickening corporate leech a new sickening corporate leech. As NBC has taught us once again, those who believe the corporate behemoths care anything about community or responsibility might as well join Scientology or the Flat Earth movement.

They are only "Someblock".

I thought the tattoo fellas were tough guys. I can take criticism. These stickers were all the over the place and are still showing up in Rogers Park.<br /><br />Is this the most important thing in the world? No, also the hatchet should be buried.<br /><br />Dear MindCrusher I am sorry for my irate phone call. Your store's stickers were driving me crazy and there seemed to no solution and basically there wasn't except for the community to clean up another business'es stickers. <br /><br />:)Philip McGregor Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580740928457414722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073419105741504751.post-71763353757762202682013-02-07T11:39:42.971-06:002013-02-07T11:39:42.971-06:00Mr Rogers, you could do more good helping EB users...Mr Rogers, you could do more good helping EB users (unworthy as you think they are) find a new venue, preferably not owned by corporate morons this time.

The vandalism persists but that phone call will hurt him until his dying day. <br /><br />Who knows what was said, it was a neighbor who was fed up with taking down stickers from the neighborhood and was just getting blown off from that business. That's what I would expect if it were my business.<br /><br />How is pointing out someone's stickers all over a neighborhood defaming a business? Its not like Chevanston went out its way to search this out it was starting to infiltrate the whole neighborhood.

Oh, and by the way, you didn't get kicked off Everyblock for reporting vandalism; you got kicked off for defaming a business. You got kicked off for not disclosing that you called the guy a "pussy" over the phone. Forgot that part, huh?Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120845609792180531noreply@blogger.com
