Yup, I miss Eleua, and wish he'd come around more often. But at this point a lot of folks know how the story ends, they're just waiting for the inevitable to conclude so everybody can get on to the next phase.

Reply to Tim's Comment on the Main Page about the Queen Anne Condos and Ardell's "gushing" praise and what her motives are and an assertion that her motives about her praise are on topic or not:

********************************

Tim,

I think if you are being honest with yourself and the readers here, you would acknowledge that you brought it up first by pointing out the "gushing" praise when these condos first came out in your original post. If you hadn't done that, then Ardell may not have come over here to "complain" that you mischaracterized her comments and then you wouldn't haven clarified them, and then others wouldn't have dismantled her assertions that she only did it for the "love of architecture".

It seems completely on topic when your original post, to a degree, mocked her gushing.

It's your blog and you are, obviously, free to enact any "on topic" comment policy that you wish, but when you bring up "over the top gushing" in the original post, why wouldn't the motives behind that gushing be fair game as well?

Seems to me that if you wanted to quash it, you should have told Ardell she was off topic for rebutting your original assertion, rather than continuing the debate with her.

Yeah, thanks for the email. I just couldn't delete the whole comment when I edited and I wanted to move it over here where you preferred it.

They really are somewhere else on that latest post. Leanne goes from using the survey to launch her point, then, after being proved completely wrong by Per Se, moves to calling the survey useless. Meanwhile Mack keeps up the steady beat of not contributing anything except whining about anons. They basically have their noses rubbed in how wrong they are but they keep coming back. It's incredible.

Someday they will beat this horrible boogey-man called "Internet."

I get nervous even seeing Mack's name on SB -- I'm afraid that one of these days even he will join the wave of real-estate types who have immigrated to these shores so that these boards too will become a forum for his special combination of snideness, condescension, and faith-based economics.

So don't say his name! It's bad juju.

(I used to do it for the laffs, but I can't read that blog anymore either. Nice of the PI to provide the bandwidth that sustains their clubhouse though.)
