carolst's biz in the toilet

agreed... cut her some cat scratch fever...

cut carolst? that sounds like violence. but i didn't think we were providing free therapy here. (unless, of course, we like the patient. falco can get therapy whenever he'd like).

Well, why can't she just come out and say that?

If she was honest, I'd have sympathy.

But all this lying and hidden agendas stuff, that just pissed me off.

oh well, so much for trying to be nice.

screw you, carol.

question. why do you all assume carolst is a woman? carolst is a location. and he/she doesn't write like a woman. just curious.

i think carolst is ericho, personally. writing styles overlap, particularly when angry. same sort of happy happy but explode with pounding intensity when things don't go right. i've got to wonder if ericho didn't create carolst for those moments when he/she needs to implode.

Not sure about that. Ericho just plays loose with facts - but at least tries to use them - carolst just sounds a bit retarded.

10022, read the threads. really. carolst just goes ballistic (and ericho did one time as well). same market, location. may be alter ego.

they really do sound the same when you eliminate the "noise".

The only person missing from this discussion is upperwestrenter

and you and carolst

slow day at the old brokerage again, I see.

skaratch

bump

bump

this is hilarious

oh my lord! I totally forgot about this.

No wonder CarolSt is so pissed off!

does anyone have the link to the actual meltdown thread?

i wanna see! i wanna see!

i can't find it. i'm still looking. someone bumped a bunch of these up a couple of days ago, but now they're gone.

that put the fun in dysfunctional.

This is my favorite...

"In all, i have an open mind to other peoples opinion."

- CarolSt, 12 weeks ago

"The economy is doing far better than everyone think. "

CarolSt 12 weeks ago...

(and today the government came out saying "whoops, recession worse than we thought)

"Prices in Manhattan are holding up a lot better than everyone is expecting"

"Prices aren't coming down as many have noted. "

i love it!

Funniest of them all!

"Thank you SteveF.

Don't believe me or even Christine from urbandigs?"

Christine Toes is the one who said "prices will go up" RIGHT before they tanked! She's got the legendary urban digs post!

Well..it has!!
Over the past 12 weeks, have prices collapsed?

You people are so fucking dumb.

the actual meltdown can't be located, at least not by me, but this has some gems.

My favorite response...

" watched as CarolSt took her crack at te SE crowd. Probably seemed like a good idea when her boss said," why don't you get off your ass and get on-line and see if you can't spread a little cheer and reverse this zeitgiest!". I have to admit, Carol beat that hornets nest like it was a pineta on her birthday and, she did not go down without a fight. This is what's special about some brokers. In the face of all that is said and explained they can ardently adhere to their core notions. If they had a collective mantra it would be, 'Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up'.
CarolSt has a cast iorn plate in here head when it came to clear critical thinking...give her credit for that"

CarolSt, would you recommend Elliman Broker Shawn Felker?

AH, aren't we supposed to buy some real estate? want to compare lists? i have the PH, but only view units, at the top of mine.

Sorry, why is anyone giving this kind of person the time of day here?

because he/she reappeared? and it's both sick and hilarious. i really wish we could locate the meltdown.

you are so boring, mr earnest

"Sorry, why is anyone giving this kind of person the time of day here?"

Because i'm a mirror of themselves with a different suit on.

in a shark suit!! and you're not a mirror of myself, you're an obese shark.

CarolSt, from the looks of it, no. Several people here are pretty great contributors; the anger and insults can be entertaining, but that's not my primary reason for sticking around.

"obese"

Nice try fatty.

"the anger and insults can be entertaining"

I'm glad i bring joy into your boring life. Wishing and praying for the collapse of the end of the world will surely do that to you.

bjw, i hear you. but it's so refreshing to have someone so completely without merit around. like rufus. the lightning rods.

I love Rufus.

This is the actual meltdown thread:

http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/11693

george, i missed that. thanks.

wow...i had almost completely forgotten.

cc, i don't think you enjoyed it as much as i did. all those sharpened pencils.

rereading it was better than the original.

"I'm glad i bring joy into your boring life. Wishing and praying for the collapse of the end of the world will surely do that to you."

Ok, now you tempt me as well. You're ascribing things to me that I've never said. If you are indeed a broker, you're absolutely killing your business by posting as you do here. I think a lot of people are too eager to attack brokers, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that makes it harder for everyone involved.

aboutready, it's cool. I honestly couldn't stand the whole Chicago thing; at least this is a bit more on topic.

> Sorry, why is anyone giving this kind of person the time of day here?

Because CarolSt is SO unlike other bulls here?

Carolst, crawl back into your retardation, you are just a maggot growing on a bunch of dead cerebral matter.. we are too poor you buy, you funny little critter

"Because CarolSt is SO unlike other bulls here?"

Instead of just dumping people into two buckets, you might get more out of this board if you see there's more than "bull" and "bear." CarolSt doesn't seem like someone worth spending time on. Some people you label as "bulls" are.

CarolSt,
Street Easy's favorite Piñata!

Welocome back! I missed you! Thought that new stick I ordered off the web was going to go to waste.

Love the part where all the candy spills out!

"Instead of just dumping people into two buckets, you might get more out of this board if you see there's more than "bull" and "bear." CarolSt doesn't seem like someone worth spending time on. Some people you label as "bulls" are"

And many are not, yet we spend the time. Why should this one be any different?

Contrary to what you idiots are saying, i've done extremely well the last 3-4 months.

I sold a few units in WB and Dumbo in June, July and August.

And how bout the new home sales report?

"Instead of just dumping people into two buckets, you might get more out of this board if you see there's more than "bull" and "bear." CarolSt doesn't seem like someone worth spending time on. Some people you label as "bulls" are."

I'm just a messenger for buyers and sellers.
This bull vs bear thing is not for me.

you're a messenger for insanity! Let me repeat: your breakdown was EPIC!
pencils flying, fuck this, fuck you, fatso this, fatso that.
so classic

carolst, what do you possibly gain by posting here?

esb, see why we get a bid edgy when brokers come on board?

"carolst, what do you possibly gain by posting here?"

To get a sense of desperation.

it just seems like....self flagellation

"And many are not, yet we spend the time. Why should this one be any different?"

You've really got a knack for this spokesperson, speaking-in-we habit. A few others arguably aren't worth the time, but you seem to spend an ungodly amount of energy on them as well. This is no different, you're right; you should ignore all of them more.

> You've really got a knack for this spokesperson, speaking-in-we habit.

Except I'm not putting words in folks' mouths, I'm pointing out the behavior of this board. We do it, its pretty simple. I'm not speaking for the group, I'm pointing out what we have done over and over again.

Plenty of time has been spent on rufus and steveF and Alpo and Perfitz (including by you).

> but you seem to spend an ungodly amount of energy on them as well

It is pretty funny to have *you* talking about spending energy on folks like that. There are threads and threads with you and perfitz alone!

Pot, kettle...

> "carolst, what do you possibly gain by posting here?"
> To get a sense of desperation.

Yes, I definitely agree that you have gotten awfully desperate....

Victory for you, I guess.

"It is pretty funny to have *you* talking about spending energy on folks like that. There are threads and threads with you and perfitz alone!"

I won't deny having fun with fitz' ridiculousness (and yours, naturally), but I think flying off the handle anytime any of rufus, steveF, alpine, and petrfitz posts anything is in a whole 'nother league. But hey, if it amuses you, fine; just gets a little too much like Curbed around here when you have to weed through that stuff.

"but I think flying off the handle anytime any of rufus, steveF, alpine, and petrfitz posts anything is in a whole 'nother league."

People usually hate most what they see of themselves in others... pot, kettle.

And, of course, we have to add Mutumbo to your list as well.

Yep, add mutombo to the list. I'm no shining example of holiness myself; I just think we could all do a little better to clean things up around here by responding less frequently to these types, and definitely with less histrionics (ie: incessant all CAPS shrieking of "OH MY LORD!" - what is this, the Tiger Beat Christian forum?)

The Tiger Beat Christian Forum <--- great name for a bar!

> (ie: incessant all CAPS shrieking of "OH MY LORD!" - what is this, the Tiger Beat Christian forum?)

Ironically, no caps above!

Just watch the hypocrisy. Anybody posting more than once a day is spending too much time here. Anybody posting 10+, 20+ a day shouldn't be complaining about others' posting...

or a band. maybe a bar band.

I think you have to shorten it to the tiger beat christians. lolapalooza, here they come.

"Ironically, no caps above!"

Are you unclear about the function of quotation marks? Yowza.

"Anybody posting more than once a day is spending too much time here. Anybody posting 10+, 20+ a day shouldn't be complaining about others' posting..."

Who said this? Nutty stuff (another good bar name, by the way).

alanhart, great idea for a thread.

> Are you unclear about the function of quotation marks? Yowza.

nope, thats you. You're like joey on friends.
Note that "incessant all caps" is OUTSIDE the quotation marks.

It doesn't make incorrect statements correct....

> Who said this? Nutty stuff

Yes, I agree, it is pretty nutty, you of all people complaining abou tthe volume of posting.

"Note that "incessant all caps" is OUTSIDE the quotation marks."

And you're still not getting what I was illustrating about you. It's not about volume of posting, it's volume of posting devoted to a few miscreants. Daft...

Two tries, and you still haven't made a dent in rationalizing your mistake. Want to go for a third?

> It's not about volume of posting, it's volume of posting devoted to a few miscreants

That would also be convenient for you, except you are leader on both, too. A little wacky that you're doing the complaining...
