You Can’t Hope To Silence Phillybloggers, You Can Only Hope To Contain Them
Well well well! Just a few weeks after Inga Saffron reported on 1352 Lofts’ annexation of the sidewalk on South Street1, good ol’ Rimas Properties is at it again. This time, someone from Rimas Properties — or some sort of weird person posing as a lawyer for Rimas Properties, which would be awesome — called up Phillyblog and started saying words like “libel” and “slander,” according to one of the co-founders. (If somebody said “slander,” that’s kind of odd, since as far as I know nobody was posting audio files to Phillyblog to bash Rimas.) The posts were taken down. Naturally, the good users of Phillyblog have exploded in a way that only people on the Internet can, with famed poster EastChestnut asking for a wheelchair so he can pretend to be paraplegic and protest and people getting angry at Phillyblog for not wanting to deal with lawyers angry ‘cuz people called Rimas Properties a cunt or whatever. Oh, and they’re writing letters and trying to organize a protest; as you can see from the photo, the sidewalk isn’t even big enough for Philadelphians over 250 pounds, i.e. most Philadelphians. In non-Phillyblog advocacy, the Design Advocacy Group is also angry, even though they are probably slim and fit, with all that advocacy and all. Update: But, damn, is this place nice-looking! Not only that, but you’d get to look out your window and laugh at people trying to squeeze by on the sidewalk, too. Also nice: The Big Green Building, which is apparently powered by its own awesomeness. 1 Oh, also apparently I bashed ‘em too in PW. And then it was corrected in a letter. I don’t remember any of this, being in an antidepressant- and codeine-induced haze for the past five years. Where did the “sidewalk grab” thread go? More censorship? [Phillyblog] |

There’s nothing like internet message boards that brings out the inhuman rage in people, that’s for sure. Except maybe the interstate highway system. And steroids.
They probably paid some schmuck a bunch of money to design those stupid window box things that are sticking out onto the sidewalk before realizing they wouldn’t fit.
Next time he should respond with “wrongful use of a civil proceeding” and “I’m going to call the state bar association” and a picture of Indigo Montoya saying “You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.”
It’s “Inigo” Montoya, you klutz.
i hope the kids acid etch the crap out of the windows.
