There are some incredibly bored people out there who should find something productive to do.
If a person posts only positive things about his city, give him a break; that is, if he doesn't post negative things about other cities except for in tit for tat response to negative postings about his city from people who post only negative things about his city and never anything negative about their own.
Columbiadata rarely post anything close to the truth. Also watch watch out for forumers that use mulitple names to try to pump up Columbia like one guy that goes by the names PalmettoGuy and Akhenaton06 and Mutiny77. All the same person.
Hah, I thought I was the only one that recognized Columbiadata as the resident troll for this subforum. I have noticed most regulars ignoring him lately, which I've joined in doing, but that hasn't quelled his thirst for attention. I'm quite certain that he has a few extra accounts here, himself (they only show up when his Columbiadata posts go unanswered).
If that's true there are some incredibly bored people put there who should find something productive to do. That goes for the negative and overtly positive posters. I've noticed it can go both ways, I just figured people like to argue like on every other Internet site known to man.
Yea....there are a lot of folks out there with multiple names who like to start something on these boards. No way to know who all are the same people on these boards which is why asking where to live on these boards is pointless. Most on here have absolutely no idea what the real metrics are and ignore them when presented. Case in point......there are facts showing crime statistics between Knox and Columbia yet, a new poster writes about a crime filled city, interesting. Kind of make you wonder who that guy is.
FLmom. You should be aware there are a couple of bogus posters here that are refered to as "sunshine pumpers". They lie about Columbia and try to paint a sunny picture of a city riddled with crime, homeless and gang problems. As you can see from factual post above, Columbia has far worse crime than Knoxville. Watch out for these sunshine pumpers and take their post with a grain of salt. Columbiadata rarely post anything close to the truth.

Hey Godshonest/GS.........what are the facts?
FLmom.....another thing to be careful of when reading these boards, there are many who troll on here from Greenville and make a living of bashing Columbia. Some, not all, in the Greenville crowd are short on facts, it doesn't take long to identify those folks.
What does the metrics say on crime for the 2 cities?
See post # 14......appears that Columbia does not have as much crime as Knox......Knox had 29 murders in a year to Columbias 13. You have a 1 in 92 chance of being a victim in Knox v. 1 in 113 for Columbia.
As far as crime... does your daughter plan on living in town? If so, then use the City results, but if not, then look at the counties', not the cities'. Someone mentioned the NE of Columbia being safe, but unless you plan on living in the suburbs, it's really irrelevant information. I'd personally rather be downtown or near by.

This is a personal attack that is false. What I post is either true or opinion. I just don't post negative things. If someone wants to ignore me that's their right. I post only as Columbiadata and I take your comments as defamation.

You are a junior member who has seemingly just popped up. I don't appreciate your attempt to defame my city-data character. I post only as Columbiadata. I have never seen so many junior members posting bad things about Columbia as I have lately. None of them stick around very long. What's up with that? If something I post isn't the truth, it is either only my opinion and can't be exactly measured as either true or false, or it is a mistake and I apologize or post a statement as quickly as possible saying that I stand corrected. I have NEVER posted anything on this forum under any other name.
