What does talking pictures in Tommy Thompson Park on a cold windy day have to do with a condo development?

Way to call me out on nothing. You must be very proud of yourself.
I think I do. This defensive posturing is proof positive.

You actually did make a comment about Harbourfront and people being overly sensitive to cold that someone responded and said they were down by Harbourfront and the wind chill was unpleasant. Saying you were responding only to the posted photo and not dragging in our disagreement in this thread was the HUGE stretch. Stop playing it as merely coincidence. you're just digging a deeper grave. I'm not the only one that knows your personality.

Granted I wasn't a huge fan as so many proposal go nowhere which means additional work to keep things up to date down the road but, he's not doing it anymore and I'm happy being lazy.
About half of the towers I mentioned ARE over 30 floors... I'm not asking this because I want to make work for you, it's because I want to make the drawings for these towers. I too spend countless hours on this stuff like you do. I wouldn't bother you about it if I just glanced at the info every once in a while or something.

He took over and I've been lazy ever since. I'm having fun with the height measurements taken from Google Earth. I get to see every highrise inimately from the comforts of my man cave.

For the record our disagreement started in this thread, you dragged it into another and now you dragged it back to this one. It's really humorous reading how delusional your posts are becoming. your insults to people are a little disturbing however. You're really scrapping the barrel trying to back up your claims now.

"Stop playing it as merely coincidence." lololol.

Seriously, my comment on one member trekking out into the unprotected surrounding of the Leslie Street Spit has ZERO to do with you hating terraces on a harbourfront proposal. Stop grasping at straws on this one trying to make connection where they don't exist. Also ditto to you " I'm not the only one that knows your personality".

I didn't at all say I didn't like the terraces. I said having upwards of 50% of the livable space as outdoor space in our cold climate is impractical and you took great offense to me calling Toronto cold. Stop twisting everything.

I only insult Dleung from time to time. He relishes it. There's no reason for you or anyone else to feel "insulted" by my curt "delusions" unless they aren't delusional at all.

You called me a "🞵🞵🞵🞵". I find that insulting. I didn't take any offense to you saying terraces were not useful in our climate. That was your opinion not shared by most others. I'm twisting nothing, you were the one who twisted my comment on a skyline picture into some sort of attempt to bring terraces back into a conversation. That was the biggest attempt I've seen in a long time o twisting things. I don't twist everything or anything for that matter, that seems to be your forte on ssp.

No, You're not twisting things at all. I didn't call you a 🞵🞵🞵🞵. I said you were being dickish.

Why are you pretending? Are you not aware of what you wrote? You brought up Harbourfront and some people being overly sensitive to cold in your response to that photo. It even garner a response independent of you and me. Stop making it out you only commented on someone trekking out to Tommy Thompson Park in the cold.

Because you made it a (condescending) reply instead of just offering your 2 cents. If your going to refute someone's position, it has to be on point.
