Preemptive dealing with whining is respect?

“Like the silly whining about the loss of the interior murals.”

Whining over a loss is one thing. Whining over what isn’t a loss is something else entirely. Though I guess there will be a loss of incandescents.

As much as I agree that Swampies have a tendency to whine about, well, everything, I’m pleased to see that they have commanded some respect which is evident with this preemptive release of plans.

Maybe Swamplot should be renamed Whinegarden.

I worked at the bookstop in the early 90′s. Replacing those bulbs was a daily chore. There was always at least one dead bulb every morning; often far more. I enjoyed working there. There’s something to be said for serving a customer base made up of readers.

What in the hell does talk on the waterfall of whining even mean?

The murals had to come down in order for the facility to meet code as a food selling establishment. Why are so many people willing to let a place rot (see Astrodome) instead of being willing to make changes in order to allow a place to survive. BTW, given the total freak out over the Alabama sign, yes, Weingarten was right to make this preemptive announcement. Folks need to relax a little.

“And yes, there would have been a lot of silly whining and belly aching over it.” Like the silly whining about the loss of the interior murals. Indeed.

This renovation is one of the most hysteria inducing in recent memory. After the brouhaha over the sign, I am not surprised in the slightest about the preemptive, don’t panic press releases. Love it.

haha,

I see Weingarten doesn’t want to talk on the waterfall of whining from people when they are doing a simple upgrade. And yes, there would have been a lot of silly whining and belly aching over it.
