That word after beautiful was supposed to be "weekend" I got my flip-flop caught in my computer and erased it.

No, number 4, we are quiet because it is the single most beautiful w and, the smell of the trees is terrific and everyone is very happy in our huge, diverse, walkable city. We are taking advantage of the time we have in the nice weather and talking to each other, not posting on Seattlest. And thank you for your follow-up, Kim. Your first post pissed a lot of people off (me included), but a good, old-fashioned restatement-of-intent/apology is always appreciated. Really. We are not assholes here, really. It was a scary day and you hit a nerve.

Hee hee, I like how quiet it is on this comment list. What's wrong overly-sensitive, angry New Yorkers? Now you see the point they were trying to make? Betcha feel reeeeal stoooopid now for getting all huffy, huh? Rar!

Not so much people pleasing as it was a well-written, clarifying piece for people who missed the point yesterday.

I thought yesterday's piece was well done and made a point. As far as the NY and Seattle bashing, give me a break. Neither one is heaven or hell. I'm sorry you felt you had to apologize and explain yourself. The people pleasing thing is just not attractive at all. Screw them if they couldn't get it.

For what it's worth, this Seattleite still hates New York. I hate its overinflated egotism, I hate its obnoxious accents, I hate its boorish sports fans, &c. I also hate how ex-New Yorkers keep appearing here and complaining that things don't resemble New York.
