Guys, I apologize for deleting the whole thread. I recognize now that I probably should have just deleted the offending statement and gone from there. There was nothing wrong with the conversation…I just felt that it was close to getting out of hand and I had limited time to deal with it…plus I’m a little sleep deprived.

We’re cool. And no worries about going off topic, as I’ve said before…its not discouraged.

It ain’t in Decatur, but we’ve had a couple of nice Christmas Day meals at McCormick & Schmick by Perimeter Mall.

P.S. to Brent – I recommend China Inn on Peachtree Industrial, even though it’s a bit of a drive. We had Thanksgiving there one year when we didn’t feel up to the cooking and family onslaught. Since it was a slow night, our waiter ended up spending a lot of time with us making excellent recommendations and telling us his life story.

DM – Since my comments were deleted too, I apologize if you feel I crossed a line. I also apologize for contributing to an off-topic direction in this thread, especially since I have previously complained about others doing the same!

Frankly, folks, I was amused by the earlier exchange — if only because it was so much like the exchanges that go on among the blogs and chat groups here in my own little under-revitalization inner suburb with its many different kinds of people with sometimes clashing opinions and attitudes.

I’ll feel right (back) at home in Decatur! (Grew up there, by the way; went to Towers High School. And if you’d told me back in 1963 that someday there’d be a BAR on the Courthouse Square open on CHRISTMAS NIGHT I’d have said — no way! )

I’m proud to see Decatur turning out as it is. It’s always fun to come back and walk around.

Wow…sorry…guess my “meter” needs to be adjusted….I will have that looked into, DM. It is your blog, after all!

Mea culpa.

Marlys, the string wasn’t deleted until your LAST comment, which was most certainly a personal attack on another commenter.

Yep…be very careful or you will be deleted as a “low roader”…not sure who was personally attacked. Now that the political tit for tat postings are over…my apologies for an insensitive, intolerant, bombastic, xenophobic quote from a movie directly related to the thread. Maybe THAT MOVIE will be banned this year or riots might ensue. Hopefully we are still allowed to be sarcastic on the blog!
