Lin-Chuan Lee, did you just admit to discriminating against people in rentals? You did just admit to being a douchebag landlord, that's for certain. You are part of the problem.

However 'theonlysane...' just showed themselves to be really creepy.

TheOnlySanePersonInTheWorld: Your internet stalking is much more concerning than the poster's constitutionally protected right to express his opinion. By a long shot.

Yeah, not to mention the fact that the guy actually has some skin in the game, so to speak. I'm tired of all this Property Owners=Bad bullshit. Your under achievements are not the fault of the guy providing his house for lease at fair market to those he feels comfortable with. Every rental you ever dwelled in you were chosen over someone else.

Interesting that in 'the onlysane...' links provided, in which I could find no real damning info on Lee, are now deleted, or edited from this post.
But the fact remains the supposedly 'onlysane...' is rather creepy, at least in this instance.

Quick reminder for internet constitutional scholars: you have no "constiutionally protected right" to post things in a comment thread. This is privately owned, and things can be taken off here (as in this very thread) by management, whenever they want.
The right you're referring to is the protection against the government preventing you from expressing your political opinions. Not the Mercury, the Government of the United States. Not other people telling you you're stupid and should shut up, but the goddam gummint putting you in jail for your stupid opinions. That's what the 1st amendment actually covers. Bachelor out.

Yeah, thanks Rich.
I think we pretty much all know that.
I never referred to any right, as I thought the editorial staff was using good judgement, that is all -- but also pointing out to others that some shit was deleted.

That was for Remorsely, who either pretty much doesn't know that, or is trying to be funny.
And just because every other comment thread one encounters online includes some dewy eyed moron howling about their 1st Amendment rights being abridged due to something like people telling them to shut up, or something.

*flips hair* I just like to know my neighbors. Especially if I have to live in a city that is slowly becoming unlivable because of douchebags like him. Whatever gurl.

It IS interesting though, that my other comments were deleted. I didn't think they were in violation of rules and no one sent me any notifications about it. Since we're complaining about "free speech".

Anyway, I don't think it's creepy that I found that stuff, it's really easy to do if someone is stupid enough to use their real name and it's more creepy that the information is available really.

But yeah, fuck scumlords and gentrification! Gimme back my city! Looking at the number of likes on stories like this, I would say that you boo-hooers about equating property owners with "bullshit" as you so aptly put it are on the wrong side. You don't have to fuck people over to survive.
