I very nicely and politely reminded him that the reason we have mice and roaches lurking near the recycling area was because people dump food there when it should be going into the compactor.

I referred specifically to the flaming from the readership ("Why all the shrieking hand-wringing from the readership?")<br />My aside to you was merely that you conveniently chose to ignore the no-fee status he'd referred to repeatedly. Nope...the across the board attacks & flaming that occur, no matter WHO raises ANYTHING divergent from their lockstep points (on all topics), comes consistently from the commenters. You graciously provide a forum for discussion. Problem being (& here's why I think Lux shit down his first site) the apparent inability for many readers to engage in civil adult dialogue. It's that "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY" cultishness that probably keeps your page views & participation somewhat suppressed. <br />Posting anonymously (yeah, I do it too!) lends a sense of false bravado that allows name-calling & nastiness that only dilutes seriousness the real issues (i.e. Dan G. is a hero ONLY if he's drunk all the same Kool Aid. When he attempts to explore other options, like legally relocating the Market, he's eviscerated.) If there's a good chance of a zoning variance, then why NOT explore more concrete, easily proven violations? But no, the cranks have seized the floor, allowing no reasonable exploration of our options. "You're either wid us or agin us" seems to be the rallying battle cry. Unfortunately, good points get lost when one hears only the whining, bullying, and cat-calling. Grow up people!
