Here's a post that's only here to call names.

I'm sure you get all broken up about faceless figures being cracked on.

Hey, I've been assured name calling is OK, when it's redplum and massnative doing it. At least posters here can fight back.

I'll ask you though. Do you think redplum would go up to a guy on the street and accuse him of being a drug dealer or murderer? Or pick a fight?

And if your answer is no, but he does it here all the time, how is he not a cowardly keyboard warrior? I mean in some cases the people were sitting on their own steps, he knows where they live if he wants to confront them. Or report them, based on his expert knowledge of their criminality.

Really?

You're really this upset about someone cracking on a stranger on Google maps?

Talk about pretending to care ...
Oh I'm not losing sleep over those posts. Just pointing out that posts like this are creepy, icky, weird, bizarre, unhelpful, and a whole bunch of other descriptive words. I'm also calling out the sheer hypocrisy of an anonymous poster on an online forum getting butthurt over "personal attacks" by other anonymous people while making wild, random accusations about strangers on Street View. The Street View critiques say a lot more about the poster than they do the people in the images or the other CD members who don't particularly care for them. Do you find them to be informative or helpful? Fun?

And speaking of of hypocrisy and "pretending to care," you've now spent a good chunk of time in another state forum arguing with strangers for criticizing the way a couple of other random posters discuss crime. Pot meet kettle?

I almost forgot about the self-proclaimed "expertise!" Thanks for the reminder

The linked post is informative, interesting, and among the finest I've seen on here.

A truly outstanding and exceptional post.

If you do say so yourself. And, are the only one to say so. Bizarre!

You're on the receiving end of a lot of flack here on CD, but I will say I appreciate your sense of humor!

Except I do not see anybody making accusations about anybody.

That's not what I'm referring to as personal attacks. Off topic for this thread, 100% yes.

Right. In this post you hide behind the question marks as if the rest of the world is too stupid to understand what you're implying. Like that somehow makes it better. In others you're directly accusatory. Honestly, I respect the latter a bit more.

In case you've missed it, the conversation has moved on from the 74yo who was attacked in Riverside.
