It isn't easy being homeless

[notabum.livejournal.com]

Many of you may know me by sight as I spend part of my day at Au Bon Pain next to the T stop.

I have started a blog about my plight.

on the blog today I explained how I got into this situation.

I never thought it could happen to me.

I did not delete the other post.

But one of the moderators did, yes? So why that one and not this one?

I had assumed that the OP deleted her own post, but I could be wrong.

I assumed the OP meant the ABP in Davis. If I'm wrong, I'll delete it.

The poster's blog at http://cambridgestreets.blogspot.com/ says that he's in Harvard Sq and mentions someone he sleeps next to outside the Harvard Coop, so it does sound like he's not in Davis.

Personally, I don't care that much -- I don't mind seeing posts about other local places in the community even if they're not Davis qua Davis, and this seems to have more local relevance than a generic "what can I do to help the homeless?" query. But just FYI.

Because Harvard's closer than South Station?

So did you delete the other homeless post?

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I did. See my reply to notabum below.

OK. So the rule is that if you name check a spot in Davis, that makes it a protected post, whether or not it has Davis content?

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

No, she thought that the poster was homeless and based in Davis Square.

As she says above, she may delete the post if the poster is not.

He confirms below that he did mean the Davis ABP. (same reply where he references having lived on Kidder Ave.). I'm going to meet with him there to give him a donation.

You are a pain in the butt. What gives?

The sock puppet thing is so twentieth century. Why don't you do something original, like make a blog saying you're a homeless person and then panhandle through LJ?

What's really sad is that you're not even trying anymore. At least with your last sock puppet you added the last few posters as friends.

Make an effort! Show some creativity, or at least online savvy! What you're doing now is just sad.

The current theory is that you're anomie666 (or maybe two_stabs). That's your cue to start replying with a long string of profanity, btw.

Its not me. I'll give you my ISP, I have nothing to hide. I don't have sock puppet accounts and I hope I'd do a better job at trolling.
