As to the access to the reading garden at the Library… it is difficult to figure out. It was intended as a private access garden for users of the library. The gate system on Dundas is a compromise to exclude, as well as an answer to the criticism that it wasn’t publicly accessible.

Whatever you say, Ken, er a Greg.

Let’s get the insinuation out of the way, right up front. Prior to this comment, the only one that I’ve made was the original one. Made to John, under my own name. Nor do I understand the reason for the personal attack against me here. I’ll simply offer this one rebuttal. If it continues, then I may have to take other steps in order to protect my reputation. I will not be drawn into a pissing contest here.

“…accuracy and the full picture is relevant.”

I agree.

you’re assuming I posted inaccurate information on Greg’s site that he deleted. Not true and he knows it.”

And you know that my decision not to publish it was never anything more than the fact that I didn’t have the time/energy/contacts to verify it. And the fact that you would not provide me with your contacts when I asked you to.

[Mr. Fowler] “… also deleted other news-related posts because he says he couldn’t (or didn’t take the time to) confirm the information.”

It’s my blog, not yours. I won’t be put into a position of legal liability just because you want me to accept carte-blanche everything that you purport to be true, especialy when you seem to expect to be given the special privilege of posting under a hider nick.

“Mr. Fowler deleted my post stating that the Rotary Reading Garden was accessed from the Central Library because I’m not posting using my real name.”

I’ve rejected other submissions from other anonymous sources as well. What I find dishonest about your rant is the way you neglected to mention the recent email exchange in which I invited you to re-submit everything under your real name, and you decided not to. Your choice, not mine.

“Contact me if you have a problem registering or activating your account. Sometimes shit happens.”

Especially on Alt since you took it over from Sean Hurley. I finally gave up asking you to fix “the problem” so that I could log on the site, after many requests for such assistance. A quick search of my records indicates that I was last allowed to post to your site 2007/01/07 (the “Van Meerbergen” thread). No, actually you posted it for me, characterizing it again as “technical problems.” Now, here you are complaining about not being able to be heard on FMBS. You’re funny!

“Since I took over the site in early December of 2006, I’ e deleted more than 600 pages…Actually, I’ve deleted more than 600 articles, not pages. Eight-hundred deleted articles sounds about right. Maybe 850.”

Yes, and many of those articles were mine! ROFL!

I find this same problem at From My Bottom Step from time to time

I’d appreciate hearing anything that you have to say about clutter or anything else.

I don’t see Greg, or anyone else that I reviewed here “unable to handle criticism” other then you. And being over the hill doesn’t make you any better then anyone else commenting on this article.

If this is so insignificant to you then I don’t expect to see you continuing to comment. Good luck with your site.

Pot, kettle, black, right?

For example, John stated (since deleted) that if I was going to critique him sentence by sentence that I should probably move along. In any words he’s doing what he criticized Mr. Dimitrie for.

Then the still-wet-behind-the ears jackals rolled in with the outright personal attacks. Ken er a Greg really started it rolling and it went downhill from there with Derek etc. Greg can’t handle criticism either.

Whatever. Pimple on a drum significance. Screwing with people’s ID is also a bit of joke, but if that’s the best they can do, life’s a bowl of cherries. I’ve had rougher times with stuffed panda bears. At least you got some traffic on your site.

Then again, we’re both kind of design snobs
