On November 17, 2010 6:43 PM in NYPD Cracking Down On Rogue Chess Players, they said:

Not for nothing, it's inherently wrong to have a public amenity be available only to people who have children. I can at least understand the rationale behind forbidding access to playgrounds -- tho...

On November 11, 2010 7:34 PM in Iraq Vet Trapped In Kafkaesque Parking Ticket Nightmare, they said:

Yeah, they need a link back to hindquarters, so they can shove their tickets up there....

On November 11, 2010 3:38 PM in Cyclists Launch Counterattack in East Side Bike Lane War!, they said:

Yeah, but the statistic does tell us something. It tells us what you figured out mathematically -- that there isn't a disproportionate number of injuries in the stretch that has now received bike lane...

On November 11, 2010 11:46 AM in Cyclists Launch Counterattack in East Side Bike Lane War!, they said:

I get your point, but I think you've misunderstood the argument. You've read it to be "bike lanes have made 'Houston to 34th' safer than '34th to 125th'" -- but that's not actually it. The data cite...

On November 5, 2010 1:42 PM in Video: Gerritsen Beach OUTRAGED Web Is World Wide, they said:

I think it depends on whether the kids were really involved. If they were, and they got caught...great. Now, her point was that her precious little angel wasn't involved -- he just wanted to talk a ...

On November 5, 2010 1:36 PM in Video: Gerritsen Beach OUTRAGED Web Is World Wide, they said:

I don't mean to nitpick...but I'm about to... "Exeunt" means that a group of characters is leaving the stage. It's like a theatrical plural of "exit." If one person left, it should just read "exi...

On October 30, 2010 5:55 PM in Have You Spotted These USB Devices?, they said:

Umm...sounds fun, but totally unsafe. Apparently one of the best ways to breach corporate security is to go to a company's parking lot and drop a few USB sticks with whatever software you need instal...

On October 28, 2010 6:43 PM in Reporter Skewers Brooklyn Fare Chef's "Soup Nazi" Denial , they said:

I totally agree. I personally wouldn't eat at a place like this -- I find this sort of thing pretentious, and no matter how good the food is I wouldn't be able to enjoy it under those circumstances. ...

On October 25, 2010 11:27 PM in New MTA Typo Spotted, they said:

Although I know that "its" is proper there, I've never fully grasped the reasoning behind the omission of apostrophes for certain possessive pronouns. Were this sentence "The bus has the bus's own la...

On October 25, 2010 8:51 AM in Zombie Paladino Calls Manhattanites "Catatonic", they said:

You know how, when you're on the subway and the smelly homeless guy comes walking up the aisle talking nonsense and asking for money, everyone sort of tries to not look at him? How everyone gets that...

On October 23, 2010 8:56 PM in Gorilla Coffee Is Suing the NY Times , they said:

Yeah, good luck with that. (I'd actually be worried about the NYTC bringing an anti-SLAPP lawsuit in response -- though that's not my area of expertise, so who knows whether one would be available.) ...

On October 11, 2010 12:14 AM in Reminder: Westboro Hate Freaks in NYC Tomorrow, they said:

Exactly. It's a scam -- they could give two shits about "fags" or the military. Before this, they were (according to one of the children) going out and robbing houses -- but it turns out the money i...

On October 11, 2010 12:09 AM in Paladino: Homosexuality Not An Equally Valid And Successful Option, they said:

Brian, just ignore the trolling. After all, there are still scared little white boys who write whole novels fantasizing about the "backlash" that will come when all the oppressed white people finally...

On October 11, 2010 12:04 AM in Paladino: Homosexuality Not An Equally Valid And Successful Option, they said:

Yeah, gays are gross. What kids need is to learn about good, honest America-style sexuality -- not that socialist homosexuality. For example, have you ever seen a woman have sex with a horse? Here....

On September 21, 2010 11:30 PM in Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal, Dream Act Fail In Senate Vote, they said:

I usually don't bother responding to your trolling -- it's too obvious, and not funny enough. But this is worth pointing out, because it's a curious quirk of senate procedure. Anyone that votes ag...
