Bronat (William Jordan) is definitely #7. Ha!

[steveg202]

Completely agree. #7.

The Troll mythology I understand is rooted in Scandinavian folklore. Trolls are afraid of sunshine and people who fear them gain power over trolls by calling their name. However, the existance of trolls more likely speak to the fears of those who see them. Likely, these folks fear of light being shone on their positions and fear of being identified in the sphere of public exchange so hide behind aliases.

Given that I don't fear light but seek it, I am empowered when my name is called not controlled, the use of troll mythology is not about me, but the false fears of those who look for trolls.

I would more appropriately be analized as the person who cried out the emperor has no clothes. And the pressure he received from those who sold him the false suit and/or those vested in pretenting the emperor was not naked.

From the posted article about Trolls "Until political dissenter/martyr troll comes around, starting fights with everyone in a comment thread, spewing its passionate anti-whatever-you're-into views all over the productive discussion. This troll will likely get mouthy about how pathetic a blogger is for not entertaining dissenting opinions, all the while only being interested in hearing itself talk (or type, as it were). Political dissenter/martyr troll, what good do you think you are doing? Whose mind do you think you are changing? Troll, you are an asshole."

Now read BroNat's last response above. No commentary necessary.

[broNat]

I think we're making good progress. Clearly, you're getting deperate and will soon hit the bottom and begin to turn around away from fear to the light.

[steveg202]

Again no comment necessary as your posts speak for themselves. Happy MLK Day.

[broNat]

Speaking of MLK Day. The issues that I raise and some of the reactions I get are similar too those faced by Dr. King when he raised social justice and economic issues. In fact many saw Dr. King as a troll until he was safely dead.

[Mr. T]

Bronat, not only is it utterly ridiculous, but it's downright offensive to even remotely compare yourself, a minor local NIMBY gadfly, in any way, shape or form to the great Dr. Martin Luther King!

[New2CH]

Wow. I am speechless. Whatever planet you are living on BroNat, it must be a fun place!

[broNat]

What you probably find offensive is that you use the very tactics against me that haters of King used against him. In fact the core of the issues I raise are very much in line with those raised by King. For example, I have raised that Donatelli Development should have to complete the SRO designed to serve our homeless population before getting other benefits and opportunities. Some one call this call for justice a form of NIMBY-ism and anti-development, flipping these terms on their heads.

I like King I'm will to challenge the leadership status quo on their failures to follow through on issues of equity, you defend the leadership status quo. Which is more King like? King did not want to be called great, but be seen as an advocate for justice social and economic. You want to make him an irrelevant icon when it comes to real world issues.

It is your own hand that offends thee.

[Mr. T]

Your hubris in drawing parallels between yourself and Dr. King (and awhile back to President Obama) is mind-blowing. What delusions of grandeur cross your mind on a daily basis can only be imagined.

Again - #7. He has proved it again and again. The King comparison shows you that this sites moderator (if it even has one) needs remove any post from bronat. I can only wish. He will complain about stifling him and justice and blah, blah, blah.

I believe this is a democratic site. Attention site moderator! Please remove bronat from this board. We can even take a poll of all the contributors here to ask if he should be removed. If the answer is yes, then you should remove him. What do you say? Let us know.

[broNat]

Unfortunately, then you don't get King. King's philosophy was not rooted in a heroic elite, but the power of everyday people to pickup the struggle for justice and take action. It is a mistake to believe that you must be as great a man as King to work for justice, especially for those who have the least.

The fair, justice and equitable redevelopment of Columbia Heights is the logical extension of King's work and vision. Achieving this vision means speaking up and working beyond our own self-centered desires this can't be achieved by seeking comfort in group think in the most diverse cluster of neighborhoods in the city.

[Mr. T]

It's total crap to equate your NIMBY vision of local development, or lack thereof, with the nationwide civil rights struggle of the mid-20th century, and you know it, Bronat.
