Who, exactly, am I personally attacking there? Serious question. Or do you not think that Lucille Ion is a previously banned poster and is, in fact, just a brand new poster who happened to find the forums and immediately jumped into the drama wars?
Edit: Also, I am legitimately glad to see that you are respecting the poll I started a few months ago that got rid of moderator term limits.
My view was s that it’s ok to call out shitty posts or that a poster is shitty. Here though there was a discussion about one poster that jman used as jumping off point to attack a group of posters that in no way were involved in topic or discussion.
I think that’s essentially what’s been happening the last few months and the mod team’s done a great job. the only drama left at this point is the drama people want to have.
IDK, seems much simpler to just have a private site where people are vetted before being allowed to post to somehow avoid the need for mods at all. No masters either, I hear.
Italian beef uses braised shredded beef instead of sliced roast beef. It is topped with spicy pickled vegetables, and it’s usually pre-soaked in broth rather than being served with a cup of broth on the side.
It’s a Chicago staple. Fairly common in the northeast and midwest. I guess it may not be in the west coast but that would be shocking to me. Have you ever had giardiniera?
