Hahaha yeah another so you dont understand response. Good nonspecific response. Good, so you have devolved the discussion into nothing.

Oops. http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/troll-tactics.html
Yeah my bad. No further discussion unless something is actually discussed.
We have truly reached a deadend.

I've already contributed to the discussion, so you can save your definition of a troll for yourself. I'm sure this is not your last and final attempt at character mudding, most likely to cover up your own inability at really discussion, but I'm amused to see what you come up with next.

Like I said, I've tried to have a discussion with you about the realities of crime in Rogers Park, but having a discussion with you about Rogers Park is like trying to get Michele Bachmann to acknowledge to torture is wrong... it doesn't matter what you say, or the examples you provide, cause she is going to continue pushing her skewed sense of reality and agenda. You can try as much as you want to pin this downward spiral on me, but posts are there (apart from the ones deleted) for all to see.

I'll be honest and say I find that very hard to believe. You have provided not one ounce of personal experience to back up your hatred of Rogers Park. Instead, you copy and pasted newspaper articles.

Ok, so you don't believe me, that's fine. I pasted articles because XX wanted "specific" examples, and made it clear that he was NOT interested in my "subjective" "experience". It's useless to critique with someone who does not want to hear it, because if I talk about my experience, then it's "subjective" and untrustworthy... If I bring up the experiences of people close to me, it's untrustworthy because it's not my "personal experience"... If I give examples from the news, it's untrustworthy because it's not my "personal experience"... So then the trick here is to not critique Chicago with someone who does not want to hear critique. And you call critique, "hatred", that's fine too.

This ironically reminds me of another tread where I critique the quality of "most" Chinese food in Chicago, from my "personal experience" of spending years of eating a lot of Chinese food from all around China while living there, only to be met with defensiveness about how I'm being a snob, and my "personal experience" counts for nothing because everyone has a different experience.

I love a lot of things about Chicago, but I suddenly get painted as a "hater" when I bring up the negatives in the city. It's always refreshing to hear from locals that have a sense of distance and objectivity when they take a look at where they live.

I did not see any of your subjective postings describing what it was like to live in Rogers Park. If I missed that please point it out to me.
