You’re right. Everything is ok here. No problems at all, let’s just all step aside.

After all, if a huge corporation wants to try out their indy cred by waking up a few losers who should know better than to live in a busy neighborhood, why should we care? Money talks and M$ft rocks.

Right. Give me a break Nick. Crawl back into your cube and put the headphones back on.

If you really want to serve your community why not call attention to issues affecting the community? At least don’t incite the Internet to fabricate calls to 311 when there are real problems out there. People are losing sleep over much bigger things.

Nick – from our perspective – it is a noisy neighborhood. But this was far and away from “normal” noise. This was shoot you out of bed noise, beyond anything that happens when our favorite bar Max Fish gets out. Mind you, nothing about the site implicates Max Fish.

Beyond this, even if the noise level was “normal” – when you look out and see what shook you from your sleep is a shiny Microsoft logo – you get a little livid.

We hope you can appreciate the perspective.
