Roger, I didn't want to have to deal with the possibility of snow on highway 40, which otherwise would have been my first choice.

How very Christian of you....

I don't box folks in, but I do slow down when they tailgate. I can't change the fact that they tailgate. The goal is not to anger them, but to encourage them to change lanes and thus endanger someone else.

So you don't care if they are endangering someone, as long as it's not you?

I can't control whether or not they endanger someone. I can only choose how I react to the threat.
I drive what I drive and if you don't like it, tough. Go around me. I pay just as much as you do in taxes to drive on the road so bite me.
Sometimes I am the speeder, sometimes I am the slow poke (the only one doing the speed limit). Eitehr way, no one on the road can drive except me so it doesn't matter, right?

Actually it is. It prevents them from hurting themselves or others. Oh, didn't you think a Christian would say pisses off? Some people seem to equate Christian with non-human.

How very courteous of you.
I better take the Hummer, next time I go for a drive. I bet they don't intimidate that.
Intrepid and Drewdad, don't make me come over there.....
Be glad to - as long as mine's root beer.

Sounded to me as if the goal was to piss them off. Maybe others read it differently.

No, that isn't the goal. Actually, I am not sure why I wrote the piss 'em off part. It came as a thought before I hit enter. I guess I thought it was a bit funny and may help to assimilate me into the A2K group. My error in judgement.

Sure thing.
BTW - I didn't mean to be insensitive.
Man, if you ain't "assimilated" yet, it ain't gonna happen.
Root beer sounds good right now..
