As much as you want Karlock, you get can’t get some thing for nothing or keep cheating others with out things eventually breaking.

Though why won’t you acknowledge that there are people that don’t want to drive?

THWM: Then you site revenues from property taxes? :S

Come on Frank take a good look at the road in front of your home, it’s not a business.

A ghost town would be a place where roads are abandoned, though that’s an extreme situation.

Argumentum ad nauseam or argument from repetition or argumentum ad infinitum is an argument made repeatedly (possibly by different people) until nobody cares to discuss it any more. This may sometimes, but not always, be a form of proof by assertion.

Many roads exist on a profit or loss basis. They often show up as losses on city governments‘ profit/loss statements.

You can now stop repeating this assertion over and over and over. Saying it a million times won’t make it so.

You NEVER link to any evidence (we still remember your failed attempts to use HTML tags) and you repeat the same gibberish day in and out.

It is time to STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD highwayman.

So you have absolutely nothing to complain about!

I’m tired of your mischaracterizations (I’m not “right-wing”) and your attacks. I’m tired of YEARS of the highwayman persona saying the same stuff over and over and over. Fact is you and Dan and highwayman have stifled the discussion here with your repeated personal attacks, appeals to ridicule, and in the highwayman’s case, non-sequiturs and libelous accusations against The Antiplanner, whom I respect.

Criticism is great. All you offer are profanity-laced, emotion-based attacks.

/ignore

That’s a good one. I’d say you’re logic-challenged.

Highwayman is a troll-slash-chatbot who spews the same inanities and profanities day after day.

Then there’s this drivel from Karlock, who apparently doesn’t understand why anyone would disagree with him despite his reams of (usually out of context) statistics (almost as bad as Cox in this department):

Hey Highwayman,
How much are you getting paid by the transit money bags to post your drivel?

No, he varies his schtick somewhat, sometimes getting a bit profane at times…I do understand his frustrations.

Gee, we WISH! The only one paid here for his advocacy work is Randal, though not specifically to put out this blog, at least I don’t think so.

BTW, Frank, Highwayman was referring to The Antiplanner NOT you. Looks like a bit of rather typical right-wing paranoid projection to me.

Of course Highwayman is wrong that CATO, Randal’s main source of $$, is currently getting money from the Koch brothers, given their current hostile takeover attempt of that “scholarly” institution.

Of course, on transportation the Koch brothers generally agree with CATO and Randal and buy the best “research” supporting their agenda that money can buy but would never pass peer review nor a disemboweling by critics such as myself.

Note: I have NEVER called you any names. Not sure why you feel the need when interacting with me to unleash unprovoked strings of name calling, ad hominem attacks, and appeals to ridicule. I don’t reply in anger here; you apparently have underling anger issues.

If all you have are attacks, both of you now please shut the %u©k up.

My, my, Frank, you sure are rude and crude today. I thought you regularly brainfarted, but I see your mind is much dirtier than that.

For the record, the highwayman saves his bile and “slander” just for the like of you, that snot-nosed punk Metrosucks and a few select others.

Unlike some of the regular bile that shows up from your and your fellow twits’ environs, I seriously doubt the highwayman sees much in his work (whatever that may be) that warrants the same level of vitriol that you and your “fellow travelers” attract.
