And I've noticed that Elm Grove is even worse. Many of my friends have told me they've seen Elm Grove police cars following black pedestrians as they walk down a sidewalk. It's insulting and only fuels the typical outsider's perspective of the village: very white, very cautious, very racist. And the unwarranted suspicion stretches even outside of the black community! I was riding with several other teenagers, and we were followed by an Elm Grove police car until we pulled into a driveway. This was, mind you, in the early afternoon--not the ideal time for drunkenness, parties, or screwing around. Unfortunately, I do have to agree with you, Cindy.

I posted an OPINION. It doesn't need any facts. You can agree or disagree. You can even ask for facts. But for goodness sakes, when I explain I've none to give you and remind you I posted my OPINION, don't yank your knickers in a knot! You are welcome to agree or disagree. In fact, you don't even have to read. I never said your opinion was wrong, Mike and your comments have all remained. I really don't understand why you are so offended. Hello in there?

You posted an opinion, to which I replied with a simple request for information. Your response was both defensive and rude: "Luckily, I don’t need your approval to maintain my opinion." Blogging is generally seen as a way to post an opinion in a forum designed to foment responses. If the only responses you will tolerate are those indicating blind agreement with whatever you say, perhaps you could post that on the top of each page. Good day.

You really don't get this blogging thing, do you? No one said you had to agree with my opinion.

You really don’t get this blogging thing, do you?

My apologies for asking for supporting facts before blindly agreeing with you. I can see how a request for information would come across to you as hostile.
