Oh you just don't like Call em Out because they were anti-Hendrix (even though they dislike Kilpatrick they hated Hendrix worse) and now they are after Martha Reeves and Sheila Cockrel. They hold elected officials accountable...while I might not always agree with them and their tactics I respect them for having the guts to stand up for what they believe in. Better than you Metro who hide behind this forum like some "scumbag" to use your words. What do you do for Detroit but bitch? |

So is Martha Reeves "really a man", "Ilovedetroit"? And what about you today, what are you claiming race, gender, residence, occupation, income, political affiliation, event attendance, sexual preference, etc-wise? "Call 'em out holding public officials accountable" = fringe/radical political group that seeks to advance its own agenda through race baiting, name calling, smear campaigns So of course you "respect" them, "Ilovdetroit"...birds of a feather As you orginally claimed, you don't even live in Detroit. |

Well Susanarosa, that is about the 1750 time "Ilovedetroit" has made a bogus and/or disingenuous post, yet you said nothing, so it's all a wash I guess. ...And I've never thought you were normal nor anything less than a fraud "Ilovedetroit", nor the person that first started posting within minutes of you with the exact same story, Quinn. |

I believe that if you are a member of our City Council, every goddam thing about you is subject to examination and criticism. If you are wrongly slammed, you have more than enough opportunity to publicly defend yourself. If you're not clean as a damned whistle, you should not have run for elected office. The fact that we will vote for someone just because we dug her records is yet another problem. (I work with a young woman who made a weak attempt at running for City Council. She's a ****in' idiot, as far as I can tell, but if she had changed her last name to Tinsley, Hood or Cockrel, people would have voted for her on the basis of "name recognition.") |

I don't remember all the details...they tried to recall her in the past...and I don't know too many people that share your sentiment on either of the Cockrels, however, with that said they keep gett re-elected. I think most people are fed up with CC in general. I am personally pro-District by council so we can elect or un-elect (in four years) those that aren't doing their job - enough of this BS electing by name. |

From her mouth to God's ear: Quote: "Reeves, whose property taxes are current, said the red tape and difficulty working with the city to fix the properties was 'absolutely unbelievable.'" Well, thank God at least the city's leadership comprehends the problem. I guess it's impossible for the city and its political leadership class to fix it. It must just be ordained by God Himself that the city shall be inhospitable to business. How many hundreds of thousands of people have to live in grinding poverty before the root cause of Detroit's malaise -- it's incompetent government -- get's fixed. The employees responsible for managing this apsect of city government should be terminated en mass and the function should be outsourced to India. <== sick of this region's pathetic excuses for endless cycle of failure. |

Where would the line form for complaint resolution then, Ray?! That would be one helluva queue...New Delhi all the way to the Spirit of Detroit!! IF this gets positive action towards streamlining processes within city government, then I'm all for it. I've heard too many stories of nightmares with the city in so-o many areas that I'm beginning to think it is a disease...that has already infected EVERYONE that gets a city paycheck. From the nightmares Cafe had to endure before she opened to Eastern Market management keeping unused stalls away from entreprenureal types to morphing standards in building inspections to delays with the health department (Slows and Baile Corcaigh come to mind) to the problems our friends with the 600 Woodward project in simply FINDING their title deed...it seems that I haven't yet found ONE story of a good interaction with anyone who works in the CAY building.

It is neither amusing nor enlightening for ANY of the rest of us when you continue to prod this poor person over a very OLD discussion.

Sorry Gannon, the issue is not nearly as simple as you make it out to be. Whether the "issue" is a change of politics (changing positions on mayoral support, twice, or council by districts)...or much worse, changing stories about one's residence, gender, income level, sexual orientation, race, occupation, event attendance, etc. "Ilovedetroit" has consistently shown him/herself to be dishonest with his/her claims. COME ON Indeed. |

I realize trying to renovate property in Detroit can be fustrating. I've seen other cities where it's no walk in the park either. Maybe property owners should hold up on buying multiple properties until the ones that they have are solvent. Blaming the city for not being able to maintain property you own is no excuse to me. |

I guess unless you are Roger Penske nothing gets done in a hurry in Detroit. Unfortunately, this is why dictatorships happen. |

Metro - It is ok to call someone out once or twice but you keep saying the same thing over and over and over and over again. Everyone got you the first 50 times. It is ok buddy...there are other things you can pick on me for..try something new itsjeff certainly does he is practically evil haha! |

Metro, I am neither righteous nor passionate on this, just tired. If what you say it true...I'll try to pay attention to ILD's commentary, but that is rather tough for me. I don't remember every in-tangible individual, I can only follow someone's handle when I know their face in real life. I have a big problem with assumed etheric identities so I take each comment within each thread at face value towards the conversation. SOME stick with me, even back to one of my very first conversations when I challenged Zulu Warrior on something he said regarding race. Although the context stuck with me, I cannot even remember if it was Shave or someone else that brought up my stupid white-face comment...half a year after I had learned that lesson and spoke at great length of my growth. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, this person stopped reading my posts because of their extreme reaction to one little comment...so I am not surprised that they didn't know I'd learned. So, I forgot about them, forgive them their unsubstantiated attacks against me, and have gone on my way as if they never said those things. I only brought it up to prove my point on how I deal with conversations here...and on Hotfudge. Who cares what was used in some heated discussion months ago...does your continual reminding us of it serve ANY real positive purpose?! At some point, mother said that if I didn't have anything nice to say about someone to not say anything at all. Later on, I heard that one should not argue with idiots, since bystanders may not recognize the difference. This time I was that bystander...and you looked quite like an idiot. It was your turn, I think everyone has had a chance at it...some more successful than others! Cheers! |

"Ilovedetroit" there's nothing wrong with getting a point here or there wrong, and accepting if someone corrects you...but to have constantly changing stories about one's own race, gender, residence, political affiliations, socio-political stances, income level, occupation, event attendance, sexual preference, etc. is well beyond the norm. Not to mention spreading blatantly false claims that were so outrageous that the media picked it up. Sorry but you've been caught in far too many flat out lies to be considered credible and I'm going to call you out everytime. If you don't like it, tough. Gannon, please stop with the disingenuous act. Again, I ask where have you been during "Ilovedetroit's" rampage through credibility? Why are you spending more time questioning me for calling out someone so blatantly dishonest, yet claiming that "you didn't see" and "if it is true" on everything that person said? Come on man, get real. |

What happened to any dialogue about Martha Reeves on this thread? Or could Metro and ILD have their own thread where they could verbally pummel each other to their heart's content, and the rest of us could ignore that stupidity? |

Did you not even READ my post above, Metro??!! I could read a DOZEN posts from somebody named Ilovedetroit, and not associate a ONE of them with another, let along together with this supposed person whom I've never met. They are not REAL to me until I shake their hands and look into their eyes. After that point, I will usually be able to track who has said what with me and when...and whether their story seems to have consistency. Have you considered that ILD simply has multiple personality disorder? That would explain this person's lack of ability to face up to your attacks...you never know, you might be causing immense suffering when one of their personalities reads one of your fiece attacks. OR you might simply be helping them spawn NEW personalities in defense of this particular pain. This might be a grand psychological game of whack-a-mole, kinda like your version of chasing terrorists while simultaneously acting in ways that create a dozen new ones. (let's hope ILD's supposed illness doesn't escalate exponentially, we could suffer a meltdown that would be a hundred times greater that that whole JAL episode...except this one would be largely YOUR fault!!) Thanks Jams, you reminded me of the OTHER reason I didn't notice ILD's supposed weirdnesses...I ran screaming from the political mega-thread. Remember how I'd cringe in a full-body flinch every time you tried to bring it up from the business side of the bar at the BS Saloon?! Again, I appeal to you, Metro...whatever bug you have up your keister against ILD...please, please, please channel that energy in a positive direction. You...and us...will be much the better for it. Cheers! |

HAHA I feel so much love with all this talk about me or is I or hmmmm which personality are you talking about (wish my eye would stop twitching) and oooops there goes those flies around my head again. Metro - Did you ever just stop to think that I just like yanking your chain? And the best part of it is that like a rat to cheese you fall into my trap every damn time! You choose to comment on my posts all the time. You don't have to. I just made a comment above getting active and you went off on one of your rants (again thtat cheese was too tempting)...if you don't like me then ignore me others do...I promise it won't bother or offend me. |

Screw that former MOTOWN singer! Reeves os now a CLOWNISILwoman. A leader that she couldn't lead the city of Detroit into the 21st city. She can't even clean up the mess she make while she's fancy rich in the magacondo in Lafayette Park. |

You may not feel it, ILD, but that MAY be when it is the strongest...I wouldn't speak up if I didn't care. Halo, huh? |

Once again Gannon it is interesting that you have taken all this time and effort to critcize me, yet you've never "noticed", much less said anything about "Ilovedetroit's" antics. Again, I appeal to you. Drop the whole "concerned citizen" act. Your continued attack on me for calling something so blatantly obvious out, while continuing to give the whole "supposed" benefit of the the doubt to "Ilovedetroit" is disingenuous. "Ilovedetroit" once again bad cover at attempting to backtrack. I'm sure you came on here making multiple claims and outrageous stories just knowing that someone would notice and repeatedly call you, all being part of your master plan to yank someone's chain. |

METRO, What the heck, man? I SAID the next time I caught something, I'd be diligent to mention it. I haven't noticed anything because I'm not going to spend any time searching out all their posts in the archives simply to make your silly obsessive ass feel any better about your psychological imbalance here. Other than that paragraph above, please quote SPECIFICALLY where you think I've actually attacked you...let alone continued at it. Asking someone for peace and quiet in a public space is NOT attacking someone, but if you keep it up I am capable of it...just look over at that Zarquawi thread with my latest response to Karl...he just sent me over the edge. I vented, spoke my piece, and now I'm moving on. This will NOT keep me from encountering Karl, since disagreements should be able to be resolved by adults, we'll see if he can be one. I don't really care if you and ILD ever come to any sort of conclusion, but damn, the pollution on each and every thread they post in REALLY makes this place not only uncomfortable, but just plain UGLY for the rest of us. Of course, some will find it entertaining...I guess you might be a masochist...or sadist...or both...I really don't want to witness this public lashing daily. I cannot drop the concerned citizen act, I've been here too long...and it is my deepest core nature to be a peacemaker. Lovely how it's working out, huh?! |

Again Gannon, note the efforts that you are taking above. And again Gannon, it's odd that you are looking for "peace and quiet" and railing against the "polution" now (with this matter being relatively tame) as compared to antics that have gone on here in the past (and continue to this very moment). And once again Gannon, I have to ask, how have you "not noticed" far worse things on this forum until something as mild as this. "Other than that paragraph above, please quote SPECIFICALLY where you think I've actually attacked you...let alone continued at it." Hmm...maybe a few paragraphs below in your same post... "I guess you might be a masochist...or sadist...or both..." Sorry man, but your story just doesn't add up. |

"Ilovedetroit" I'm going to hold you to your age claim of "mid 30s to 40 something". So don't go claiming that you're 25 on another thread in a few days. |
