SLS: Excuse me for confusing your troll-like behaviour with the troll.

ditto

Thanks for tossing the softball, but I'm not going to swing. I think this thread can be fun if we keep it light.

Yep: let's keep it light:

Post of the year? Never mind.

For starting the Discussion of the year : "Goodbye to all".

THE finest writing, on any website, anywhere.

Spin, Spin , Spin!!!

Truth...did Spin ever come to a concert, after all....

buyer"": I don't know. But, he was invited to be on the guest-list.

and he is always welcome: At any Levon Helm Band show, and at any Ramble show.

Why do you ask? Why do you care?

Spin: Yeah, this is real "change" on SE.!

you all:you obsessed d-level s.e. racanteurs i'm jealous of you,i'd like to be 17 years old again

What about some of the great poetry that has been posted, mine included?

I nominate me. :-|

Truth you are seriously obsessed with AR. You should stop. You have already brought me into you mix of insanity on another post. You are starting to resemble Salieri. We've all been here way long than you have. Stop it already. Ok Stevie - I vote for you!! and of course dear W 67th.

Happy holidays all - shall we have a troll free 2011 - although I highly doubt it.

I hate to toot my own horn, but the "outing" of the troll as rufus / jimhones (w/ nod to initial legwork by w67 on the latter link) was earlier this year:

https://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/18719-hfscomm1-jimhones09-rufus

Toot away nada, I second your troll research/outing.

I too vote for nada.

btw, Free w67

Inod - I need to look back - I haven't put any troll effort in yet. I heard they do go together. Wondering why we haven't heard about Chicago though at all. Yeah nada

Well ccc, maybe because the "troll" isn't rufus?

Two people quickly figured out that nopigsorshrimp was also hfscomm1. Those people would be w67thstreet and mimi. Of course many more know it now, and I admit that initially I didn't make it obvious but over time I didn't distinguish the two. Initially, I had w67thstreet believing nopigsorshrimp was English because I would occasionally spell "behaviour" (not coincidentally, apt23 also does that).

inonada speaks intelligently, seems credible, but on this one, he knows nothing.

But ... call me rufus, call me Agent Rachel, call me CarolSt, NYCMatt, Riversider, whoever you want. Just don't call me columbiacounty, because I don't want to be known as the real Troll.

cccharley: Your master, ar brought you into her mix of insanity -- not me.

I don't care how much longer you have "been here" than I have.
You should stop using "cccharley", in order to cover the fact that you posted a comment in the summer stating that you were leaving SE,(posted under your other SE name.)

Mind your own business.

thumbs down

I'm all for the "Free w67th" effort. I found his comments to be entertaining.
He has that jazz/hipster character-voice down.

I was away for a month so I don't know what comment he posted , leading to his being sent to the grey zone.

I wish I had that gibberish to English dictionary that I asked julia for because Truth's message to cc charley is a whole lotta nonsense.

guys and girls...come on,in the holiday spirit, could we keep this to mean-spirited nominations?

buyerbuyer: I posted my nomination. It was for a great parody that was posted by spinnaker.

I did not mention ar. I did not mention "cccharley".

Yet, here they both are:

"cccharley" with her sanctimonious comment, attempting to order me around.

"MidtownerEast" with her claim that my message to "cccharley" "is a whole lotta nonsense".

For more of her nonsense, just take a look at the current "How much to tip the super" thread.
She's on there being abusive to NYCMatt, calling him an a-hole.

Truth -- There is a reason SE keeps removing your posts.

kylewest for always being a thoughtful and informative poster...west67th for always making me smile and to all who have post great "new york" stories I enjoy those the most...

I never put cccharley and aboutready together. I'll pay more attention to that, but I'm leaning against.

It took me a while to figure out MidtownerEast, but just as I figured out that Wbottom is apt23, yes, there's MidtownerEast. Now I'm not acluistic, and I'm probably not sidelinesitter or buyerbuyer either.

julia, you actually keep me scratching my head more than anyone else around here. Good job

Time for SE to exercise that "moderation again." Was working fairly well on troll control.

I guess if streeteasy deletes my posts, you won't have to admit that you are apt23/Wbottom.

More importantly, what is the winner of "POST OF THE YEAR" awarded?

MidtownerEast/aboutready: Ha! Your abusive posts, cursing people out on SE -- those posts get removed by SE.

They should have at least put you in the grey zone, years ago. Instead they allowed you to continue to believe that you are the Queen of Streeteasy. Cursing posters out. Being abusive. For years.
As if you own this site and this discussion board.

That was their mistake.

There's no such thing as schizophrenia, there's only mental telepathy. I once had a friend named Camilla Costello. She was Abbott and Costello's daughter. She said to me, 'You know, Sylvia, I have a lot of friends, but you're my best friend.' I'm working here. I'm an intern at Creedmoor. I'm in the Pentecostal Church, but I'm thinking of changing my religion. I have a dog at home. I love instant oatmeal. When you have Jesus, you don't need a diet. Mick Jagger wants to marry me. I want to get out the revolving door. With Jesus Christ, anything is possible. I used to hit my mother. It was the hyperactivity from all the cookies I ate. I'm the personification of Casper the Friendly Ghost. I used to go outside asking the other kids to be my friend when I was little. California's the most beautiful state in the Union. I've been there once, by television. My name is Jack Warden, and I'm an actress.

And here we have the fourth helping of the same old tired non-witty unfunny alanhart comment, in defense of aboutready.

I think steve's post where he said fire island was special when it comes to owning real estate. That was a humdinger even for steve.

Oh I tried to not respond but I just cannot help myself. Truth you are really insane. I am not Liz Yank. Everyone on here knows that. We have all met in person. Check yourself into Bellvue and knock it off.

Hi Alan dahling. We must all meet up for the New Year. I'm having a little Christmas get together so maybe you can make it down and mix your famous cocktails.

I really like the post that is still going - comparative prices. It's great and never ends. Oh shall we forget so quickly - 4++ park avenue post and his refrigerator- did he ever sell his apartment? Loved that one - or was that from 2 years ago. Time flies.

truth is nuts.

think about "I don't read the hidden comments. But I was told about your above comment from somebody who does."

was it a little birdie?

Juiceman, was that http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/4735-fire-island?

That was a good find, as a friend of mine just bought in stevejhx's co-op, and Steve was complaining recently about the maintenance and being unable to unload his.

Hey Columbia I don't know why they hide your comments. They never bothered me and I can't stand unhiding them but I do of course.

cccharley: ar informed me that you also post under LizYank. I didn't ask, she volunteered that information.
If there is any insanity about that -- it's not mine.

truth, no, i did not.

Oh, it must have been a hacker who broke into your email account, ar.

whatever.

btw, i still have all the e-mail threads, never deleted them.

have a good night.

me too, ar. Have a good night to you, too.

Truth seriously you really need help. Not that I don't love Liz Yank but your are slandering me. AR did nothing of the sort. Reading comprehension skills are taught in grade school. x

NWT, no, this one http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/23733-attn-stevejhx-post-here?page=2

Truth - I really don't think CCCharley and LizYank are one and the same. LizYank has posted some of the most incredibly well written, evocative writing about pre-gentrification Manhattan that has appeared on SE. I, for one, really miss her posts.

Also, from what she has posted, she currently lives in the Gramercy area.

CCCharley, also from what she has posted, currently lives in PCV. She is simply an AR acolyte.

The only thing the two have in conmon, IMHO, is that they both are friends of AR.

I agree with ph41 on this.

Truth, also on the little birdie thing, why don't you just unhide me. Everyone else does.

damn, should i now withdraw the holiday well wishes?

both cccharley and lizyank are on my to be given cards during the holidays list.

Even the stupid troll thinks you're nuts.
Nice

Which stupid troll? The one on default ignore? Oh, which one on default ignore?

You seem to have forgotten the first rule.

Are you kicking me out of Fight Club?

AR - why would you withdraw the holiday well wishes? All I said was that both LizYank and CCCharley are friends of yours? What, exactly, was so offensive in that? That I said they are friends of yours?
Stay classy.

acolyte? I have no slaves, assistants, etc. here. but no matter.

"where he said fire island was special"

Never said the word special. In fact, I said it wasn't special.

NWT if a friend of yours just bought into the co-ops, he would be the first in 3 years as we get updated, and nothing has sold.

It's one of the ocean-facing units, for $505K. Another one a few doors over sold earlier in the summer for more. Maintenance is $1,500.

From.thefreedictionary.com

acolyte: noun = follower, fan, supporter, pupil, convert, believer, admirer, backer, partisan, disciple, devotee, worshipper, apostle, cohort (chiefly U.S.), fan club (informal), adherent, henchman, habitué, votary

Nothing noted as "slaves" or "assistants"

Ph41, There was certainly a bit of hypberbole found in A.R'S slave reference. But "assistant" is a consistent with the defintion. The term refers to an inferior officer or church who attended the priests and deacons to perform subordinate duties. Larry Summers, Tim Geithner were two individuals who were frequently described as "acolytes" of Robert Rubin. It is cerataintly colorful and interesting way to describe an association.

Yes, one ocean-front may have recently closed - it's the only one that I'm aware of, but it wasn't finalized as of the last update. The price is doubtful, however, unless it's a fire sale, as the 1-bedrooms with no views are all listed for around $400,000. The maintenance figure is about right.

There was a foreclosure that may or may not have recently sold, and an estate sale that may or may not have recently sold. As I said, nothing had sold for 3 years, no one would even give a mortgage - all that was reported to us were some "potential" closings.

Unless you mean this one:

http://www.fireislandpines.com/properties/profile.cfm?PropertyID=1018&typeID=1&priceID=2097

which isn't on the ocean, but if you stand on the railings or the roof you might be able to see it.

acolyte from websters
1: one who assists a member of the clergy in a liturgical service by performing minor duties
2: one who attends or assists : follower

very much about being an assistant to a superior person

trooth is a dooth for whom most have no yooth

what a dooth!!

Steve, it's in that line of 12 facing the beach, where there's a BR and bath downstairs, and the LR/kit/deck/BR/bath upstairs. Closed middle of August. The other one was $600-something, and we saw work going on inside. A doctor from Germany.

The newsletter's probably not up to date.

My friend's was all-cash, which makes sense for a summer place built on sand. There'd been a couple of previous deals that fell through because the buyers wanted to borrow.

I agree that it's a summer place built on sand - which is why the current residing project with the ground mortgage is ridiculous: tripled maintenance, which is why I want to sell. 15-year self-amortizing mortgage @7.5% to replace a) windows that don't need replacing; and b) aluminum siding with all cedar, the most expensive siding on the face of the earth. And when it all gets washed away....

One of the two oceanfront units was a wreck, from what I was told. That may be the one where you saw work.

It is possible to get a mortgage now, though I don't under what terms. It's a new phenomenon, so we'll see how things work out next year. Fortunately, I can still afford mine, but many people can't.

oh, the warm embrace of the holiday season...good cheer all around

300 down.

how many to go?

Don't worry, cc charley, I have disagnosed your friend:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition, DSM IV-TR, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines narcissistic personality disorder (in Axis II Cluster B) as:

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1.has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2.is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3.believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4.requires excessive admiration
5.has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6.is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7.lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8.is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9.shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Anybody who is smart enough to figure it out can see: I'm refusing to aloww myself to get the gang-bang from the team.
I refuse to comply and that makes them get frustrated.

Truth, I really think you need to contact me. Tony (tony@levonhelm.com)

Hey Truth, you have never been on Levon's guest list!!
