what is the protocol?

Whynot does not have access to anyone's e-mail address unless they post it publicly. Even the moderators of this site do not have access to that information, although they can check your IP. Only the admins (dailyheights, Emily, apollonia666, Jeffrey, Mamacita) have access to that information and they would definitely not release it to anyone else. Whatever whynot deduced about your identity did not involve any of the moderators or admins of Brooklynian.

Nope, you involvement around town and people who met you at events gave you away, plus things you've posted here, Plus the blogs you visit, that others here follow too... it's a small world after all.....

You played it off quite well with the first line, but your persistent "curiosity" and questions got the best of you and quickly exposed you as MHA in my eyes.

If I gave you a quick read, I would say Afro-American male who grew up in a predominantly white suburb, who attended a predominantly white school and was highly thought of as quiet and well mannered by all, and who never had the chance to address some the more "stupid" remarks people made to him about race and class.., because then he would not be highly regarded as "well mannered" anymore.

Now as an adult, with a decent education under his belt and the anonymity of the internet and Avatars, he can freely express or rant freely - depending on how you view MHA's always colorful - but I personally wish more factual -commentary.

Of course, I can totally be off the mark, and none of the above is anywhere near the truth. And that nice, bespectacled, clean shaven Afro-American man I approached at the CHCA, was not MHA aka youngish, black Woody Allen - just a little more neurotic..

What bugs me out about this poster is how she references the white man to describe whomever this dude is.... Why Woody Allen? Who is she talking to here? Gotta be a whitegirl here....

And, what have I said that was inaccurate? Youngish? Definitely not me. Ask my doctor and my arthritis... Amazing.


Regarding whynot's big-ass brownnosing, All of you people get together, drink booze and chit-chat about the Brooklynian. The nepotism is rife. For me to believe Mamacita, that the lines of propriety are respected, is doubtful. And this is why I don't want to hang out with you guys. I am not trying to curry favor with any of 'you people'. I am here to tell it like it is. If you don't want me here, then say that, and I will move on.

From what I can tell though, I've done the Brooklynian more service than disservice regardless of what ideological fountain I drink from. I've no doubt increased your readership, and despite my own attempt (and failure) to find out about how I too can become a moderator, you guys are the better for my involvement. So, here y'all sit, discouraging Black involvement, yet profiting from it. Wow, feels like antebellum all over again -- or at least the beginnings of Jazz ---or rock n roll.....

Tootie Fruitey - ah roody! Whap ba-ba loo ba a whap bam BOOn! (as in Pat Boone...)
