No **Carol Sream** is not good for anything on these boards. Her trollishness is so complete that even a useless weenie like **Starving Artist** feels jealous. ---

I was going to say that whenever I see her name it reminds me which city I need to send my credit card payments to, but it turns out the return envelopes are pre-printed anyway. So, no, no good for anything at all. ---

Oh, take it easy on **Starving Artist**. He’s just really, really old. He’s confused and probably suffering from dementia. The thread’s about pitting someone else; don’t tease the mossback. ---

> [@Bridget\_Burke](#): > > No **Carol Sream** is not good for anything on these boards. Not so. Without the contributions of **Carol Stream** , there is a good chance that we would forget that 1.) tipping is not a fit subject for the BBQ Pit; and 2.) hating Central American immigrants is not racism, because Central American isn’t a race. :rolleyes: 😃 ---

There are a number of people on this MB who are just not worth responding to. Even if you’re worried about what lurkers might learn or not learn based on what those posters post, because those lurkers would have to be so far out in the wing nut end of things that they’re not going to change their minds. \*\*CS \*\*is one of those people not worth responding to. ---

> [@Crafter\_Man](#): > > Am I a “moron” because I have the nerve to highlight underutilized & wasteful government facilities? Or am I a moron because I simply have a different opinion that yours on the matter? No, you’re a moron because you stated that publicly funding libraries (and taking hard-earned money from those hard-working liberterians) is the same as the government denying rights to homosexuals. You also ignored pages and pages of proof that… a) the public (even those that don’t have library cards) wants a well-funded public library and b) that “The Market” could not supply the same level of service a publicly-funded library can Yet, you still nearly had an aneurysm over paying $30 a year to ensure little Jimmy and Susie have a place to get books. So you’re right. You’re not a moron. You’re a festering boil on Rand Rover’s ass. If I could remove the both of you from this board it would be a happy day.
