Exactly, what difference does it make? he’s missing and if anyone sees him they should call 911. Some people really are miserable and have nothing better to do than correct every tiny mistake they see others make. Get a life.

i wasn’t “correcting a tiny mistake”, jackass.

if someone was out in that vicinity thursday morning but not friday morning… or vice versa… and could tap into their memory bank, it would be important to know the difference. knowing the correct DAY OF THE WEEK might trigger a memory of having seen him if you were in the vicinity THAT MORNING.

not everyone’s mind is as flawless and clear as yours, troll. you might consider putting it to better use instead of accusing without knowing intent.

This is what I love about this newsletter. Even a blurb about a missing person can unleash a fight in the comments section. Keep doing you, UWS!!
