As that thread reads you were troll baiting my previous post by asking me what Gladys says.
The response was she can’t be bothered. And then a cut and paste from urban dictionary as to your names meaning.

Please quote accurately and within context.

God bless

Starting in AGAIN?

I didn’t disrespect you.
YOU named yourself or didn’t you know what they name means?

Nope.

Ok, I admit it's hilarious that I chose the name.

Maybe for some having the last word is important.
Maybe that means they think they are right or have won.

It's none of that at all...

But there is a word I'd like to contribute as the forum shuts down and we move into a new year...

RESPECT

You can't get it if you don't give it.
Everyone needs it, especially if we expect to get anywhere.

BLESSINGS to all in the New Year!

Interesting you should mention "respect".

You, who wrote this.

ABCDEFGHIJK
An insult used in chatrooms and on Facebook.
A- amazing
B- beautiful
C- classy
D- darling
E- energetic
F- fantastic
G- great
H- hot
I- I'm
J- just
K- kidding

Perhaps "respect" is your memo to yourself...for the future.

Crime is down, historically.
Or do we want to go back in time to the Giuliani days?

absolutely.

anyone who lived in NYC in the 70s, 80s or 90s (maybe the sixties, but i was an infant/toddler then) can tell you crime was much higher in "the good old days."

And for what it's worth, comparing this year to last year is entirely pointless, so don't bother.

I think ‘Violence Plagued’ is hyperbolic. 
But when I am out and about, there is a palpable undercurrent of tension, and controlled chaos. 
We love Tacos Morelos on 37th Ave, but we always eat inside, away from the street. 
In the past I would read these crime stories about JH, and say to myself ‘why are they in that area at 3:30am.  Or why were they hanging around Roosevelt Ave at 2:45am’. 
I felt like the crime was separate and removed from my immediate (historic district) -now the crime is happening during ‘normal’ hours and it seems to be happening everywhere.

I seem to recall the first year I moved here someone was murdered on the doorstep of their apartment block in the Historic District.
And when I got here,  I was immediately warned that around 90th Street was gang territory and dangerous.

I am not convinced that anything has really changed.
