PSA: Red Line outages this weekend and next.

[dcltdw]

This and next weekend, there'll be shuttle service between Kendall and Park St, for track improvements at Charles/MGH.

Wow, I didn't know those places were in Davis, awesome.

To be fair, most of Davis does use the Red Line on a regular basis.

Although how are they going to improve the track at Charles? Dynamite the Longfellow?

You are aware that Davis is a stop on this Red Line in question?

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am, thank you captain obvious as well as oblivious.

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

My point is this is fairly relevant information to this community and your comment is stupid.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

BFD.

That was uncalled for. Most people who take the Red LIne from Davis will be affected by this outage, and it's good to have it announced here.

I am in this community because, while I live in Dorchester, I spend a lot of time in Camerville. If I do anything in Davis this weekend, I will definitely be affected.

Thank you for this information. It *is* relevant to this community, as many of us will need to take the T this weekend.

What's the deal with all of the self-appointed sheriffs lately? This community already has effective, present mods. I'm sure I've seen them comment in the past when a topic is deemed not Davis-y enough to be relevant.

And thank you for the post; I'll be sure to allow extra time if I go anywhere by T this weekend.

You're welcome! Yes, I didn't think that, after I moved out of the Davis area, that all Somerville -> Chinatown or Somerville -> Brookline traffic would cease.

[dcltdw]

You're welcome!

As for your first question, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you just ask "why are there trolls on the Internet?"

I know that in b0st0n people have been complaining a lot lately that there used to be a lot more snark, that everything is much more gentle and supportive now, and perhaps a bit how they miss those good old days. Possibly the new crop of yelling-at-the-OP is a poor attempt by people seeing/feeling this kind of sentiment to get back to a harsher time?

... weird theory, I know, but it's the best I've got.

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Wow, how the F was that yelling at the OP?

[boblothrope.livejournal.com]

The segment of the Red Line through Davis will most likely have big delays because of the time it takes to load and turn trains at Kendall.

[pywaket.livejournal.com]

You really are a nasty person.

This is completely relevant to davis_square

[pklemica]

Pardon my hyperbole.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't know anyone had asked for your opinion, awesome.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

I just hope there's nothing I need to do on the other side of Park Street...I've been enjoying coming back to the old neighbourhood this summer. But not, apparently, for the next two weekends :-/

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

I see - hyperbole and exaggeration are okay for making a point.

For you.

[pklemica]

I mean, I mostly was referring to some other replies, not yours, in other posts than this one. But apparently you're looking for more than just a slight apology? I dunno why you're picking on me of all the people in this thread to point out that your reply was a little harsh, but perhaps you should look at how many negative reactions there were and consider whether you're throwing good humor after bad... and perhaps I should learn not to feed the trolls, if that is indeed what is actually going on.

Thanks!
