Do they really know what they are doing, and taking proper precautions?
Want an honest answer as to why I post here a lot? At least in comparison to MA, which is the only place right now I have as much or more familiarity as RI (yes I'm one of those who posts on here primarily to provide information, rather than inquire)? Well, it's because the MA forum is fortunate to have a large supply of knowledgeable/ready-to-step-up posters. The poor l'il RI forum, that's unfortunately not the case. It has the same handful of single-focused ranters yapping back and forth at each other, which really does a disservice to the many lurkers or relocation info seekers you don't realize even exist. So sometimes it takes an out-of-stater (who happens to have an inside scoop on RI for several reasons), to fill in the blanks sometimes. In the MA forum, those blanks don't exist as often so there is no need to waste my time. Why not just let someone else do the job, right? So sit back there in your dark DownCity barroom amongst the depths of society, and appreciate the guest in town carrying an important part of the load for you guys.
Wow. Otay. Let's get one thing straight: you do not live here. You are an observer, not a participant in the life in this state. Do not extol your virtues because, dude, they are vaporware.
I suppose it could be related to "IQ". More likely the familial history of RI'ers blindly voting for Democraps -- an ancestral "one lever" voting rite of passage in RI.
That was certainly never part of my ancestral heritage, sorry that's all you learned in your time in RI. How did you break the habit?
Can you sincerely state, with a measured and critical eye, that this description excludes you?
Or that your single minded negativity doesn't tend to harden and unify the ranters?
I'm here to provide balance, sorry if it has to be be imported to fill the void. And I try very hard not to be negative. Some people just have a hard time with their sugar-coated viewpoints being challenged.

That's a pretty disappointing response, though those statements of yours which I quoted haven't enough ballast, let alone truth, to offend me.
Those were substantially blatant exaggerations, and it truly strains your credibility past the breaking point to claim their accuracy after you've now had a chance at a second look at what you wrote. I had half expected you would be a mensch and issue a mea culpa.
