Seriously? If anyone is trolling, it is you with your childish behavior. I am sticking to the topic of the thread talking about the unemployment rates, meanwhile you whine that someone is trolling you. You want it private, you take that route... I have done nothing but stick to this topic, and this very topic at UrbanOhio and noticed your constant "can't have Cleveland do good in anything" attitude. Maybe your whole ploy is to ruin threads like this.... I truly don't know. God forbid Cleveland's unemployment rate be announced as doing better than Columbus.

I already stated more than once that Cleveland's rate was positive. My only concern was about sustainability. I really couldn't care less who comes out ahead for a single month. No city wins a prize. And yes, you are dragging this thread down because you have a personal problem with me. If it's not okay for me, it's certainly not okay for you. Even if you were right (which you aren't) and I absolutely hated Cleveland with every part of my being, I could do so much more with trolling. Frankly, that you think my comments in the other forum represent some dastardly plot against Cleveland... well, I'm disappointed that you think I couldn't come up with much better. If I wanted to troll, you'd know it. Sometimes I'm just commenting on a thread, with no further subtext than that.
