Was it deleted? My reply was #27, and now it's been bumped to #26. It makes it seem as though I have no idea what's going on, or that I'm responding to an imaginary post. Charlie.

I did on the previous thread on this subject. Poster #20's comment didn't note that the anonymous comment was on this thread. Therefore, being that I was the only one who commented on anonymous posting, concerning this subject matter, I posted #25 as I did. You are the one making an assumption, not me. I'm not assuming; I'm deducing that the comment was directed at me, because he (poster #20) thinks that I might also be poster #19. With all of the anonymous posting and posting under any pseudonym one wants, it's hard to know who is who. That was part of the reason for my original comments on anonymous posting , to begin with. As far as his comment on bashing others, only little minds, somehow seeking thrills, do crap like that. Did you read the posts on the previous (original) thread on the whole toxic dust/contaminated site problem? I don't disguise myself with anonymity or with pseudonyms. It's obvious that you do. Are you actually poster #19 also? Why are you even commenting on this, when you don't have all the information necessary, to make an informed comment? With anonymous posting, as well as with posting under a non-registered pseudonym(s), posters can be as disrespectful, and as moronic as they want to be, without having to own up to what they write. I'm not referring to all anonymous posters, as that is not the purpose of most people. In addition, I think if one leaves the name space blank, that it will post automatically as anonymous. Lastly, re-read my post (#25). You will see that I am asking, not drawing a hard conclusion. Again, I will use an expression which I often use, concerning those who don't pay attention, or who believe what they want to believe, before they comment: Listen to what I am saying, not what you think I am saying.

The Blend incident and his huge flip-flop says a lot about his character. I wrote him several email regarding Blend and he did not respond to one of them. Good job LIQ, but I continue to view Joe Conley with suspiciously and question his leadership and judgment. With so many important things going on in the area we need real leadership on the issues. This further cements him in my mind as a reactionary figure leaning in whatever direction the wind blows him. We need someone new at the helm.

Agree, it's DEC, not Rockrose are addressing the issue, and Liqcity didn't "solve" the problem by publicizing it, but... so what? I'm glad to learn this important source of pollution exists in my neighborhood and the powers-that-be are actively trying to remediate it. I didn't know any of this before reading this post. Kudos to Liqcity for raising awareness and following through. #11 here, with no connection to Rockrose (where did you get that, #14??).

The engineers themselves admitted the ground should be dampened to avoid swirls of dust blowing around the area. Besides, some new residents didn't even know remediation was going on and that the land is highly contaminated. Good work, liqcity. 15, it wasn’t for no reason.

However I think it is sloppy work on their part for not enforcing their rules before they are broken. Most all of the developers on the Queens West parcel tend to dig for as long as possible before starting remediation. I wonder if LIQcity could agitate for constant air monitoring in the LIC area as long as construction is taking place in LIC. But I do have to say good work!!
