Getting the GDS mojo back

And although I think GDS is a fine school, the people using this language about history are either trolling or tone deaf. You won't get what you want by saying GDS should get special treatment under the zoning rules.

The first post today was just the tenacious anti-GDS troll back from his or her August vacation and out to stir the pot by resuscitating this chain---this time with faux boosterism. It's getting a little old, isn't it?

What's a guy to do during the intermission between episodes of South Park? Pick his zits or troll this site? So little time...

Probably there are both: neighborhood trolls and tone deaf school boosters.

It is never safe to assume troll in this thread.

Just this week there are all sorts of press reports (NYT, NPR, etc.) about the most recent best seller of an acclaimed author who is a GDS alum. GDS has nothing to be shy about.

Who? Assume I live under a rock. Who?

Jonathan Safran Foer, who graduated from GDS 20+ years ago.

And Murch. He is also a Murch grad. Let's try to pull Murch into this development discussion now [/sarcasm]

Shy is not the issue. GDS can be proud of what it accomplishes. Whether people associated with the school move beyond pride to gloating is unclear.

In its relationship with the Tenley neighborhood, GDS should try to be reasonable. One obvious way to do that is to abide by zoning laws and recognize legitimate neighborhood concerns. And it is not as if GDS does not benefit from zoning. GDS would not want a rock quarry, prison or Walmart on the old Safeway site either.

His brothers are noted writers too. Clearly a GDS education had something to do with it.

There's that whiff of desperation again.

Wasn't sure at first, but it's gotta be a troll.
