re: #519 sizzleRI

I am not claiming to be objective (not a southerner or west coaster), but making fun of this ridiculous Berkeley thing? Totally fair. But it somehow spawned all kinds of SF is sooo crazy talk. I know that can happen with other regions, the south especially. I would object then. It gets a bit silly.

It didn’t look like crazy talk to me. Maybe it was an odd transition. I’ll be honest with you having lived in SF I used to consider it vastly different than Berkeley. Most of the people I met in SF were from New Jersey. The trashiest racist I ever encountered was from SF. And vice versa. People in SF would also trash the East Bay quite often — especially the hip folks. And trashing Los Angeles was a religion. Then you go out to the Avenue and it’s a different world.

I still don’t think anyone was being out of line though.
