He lost out on that $MILLION contract because he didn't make it there on the train to sign the paperwork.

Loss of consortium because he never made it to see that high priced hooker.

Pain and suffering because he had to run from the police.

Emotional humiliation of outrunning the same police

We have here a tempest in a teapot, and Joe seems determined to characterize it as some huge moral hurricane.

Have I been using the Shrill Font again? I don't mean to. I'm just having a little fun thinking about this. The conductors in this neck of the woods, before 9-11, were bossy, brassy, loutish oafs with an enlarged sense of themselves as Masters of their Own Domain, since 9-11, they have only gotton slightly more inflated, so that may be the source of my wariness regarding the conductor's action.

And there is this: I wouldn't want any 6o ish man or woman to be put off a train in the middle of nowhere.

Retired St. Louisan Kicked Off Train Remains Missing

(KTVI - myFOXstl.com) --
A retired St. Louis man kicked off an Amtrak train in rural Arizona is now safe.

Amtrak officials say Roosevelt Sims, 65, became drunk and unruly onboard. They stopped the train to wait for police but Sims ran off.

Sims was found around 9:40 p.m. Thursday night walking along railroad tracks two miles from where he was kicked off the train.

He is in good condition.

An Amtrak spokesperson says while it is an unfortunate situation, the crew acted appropriately by stopping the train and waiting for the authorities.

Sim's family believes he was treated unfairly

My complaint, Joe, is that you were pulling a DAVID on us with your large, bold-faced, colored comments you had shouted at us.

And you're still up to your bullshit. Now you're talking about a man put off a train in The Middle of Nowhere. Oh? The Middle of Nowhere has its own police force? The Middle of Nowhere has a platform where the conductor can get off and wait with this man for the arrival of The Middle of Nowhere Police Department?

How very silly of you, Joe.

I still have trouble with the forfeiture of his right to leave,
as the result of someone else 's anticipations.

I used to think that our rights were more DURABLE than that.

Yes. I am being a little silly about this matter, but for some reason I am drawn to this story. I can't explain that, But I promise to refrain from using anything like David's really silly, loud lettering.

After tonight's run I am going to GoggleMap the location just to see how boondockish it was.

Am I being overly sympathetic? I just keep imagining what it must have like to be there in the darkness, sick and alone, following the tracks by starlight.

It's unfortunately just outside a better pictured area - otherwise I'd posted it already earlier.

I usually just don't read his posts.

This is, however, a wonderful example of self-delusion. Literally for years, people here have told him that they don't find it easier to read, that they don't like it, and that they wish he'd stop doing it. It has been pointed out to him repeatedly that his butchering of English is not appreciated, and often fails of the goal of communication.

But David isn't interested in that, he's already decided what's best for us, and he doesn't intend to pay any attention to what we tell him. David has decided he knows better than us what is good for us, because he believes in "freedom."

david, nevermind, you do whatever you want and expect to not have as many responses to your posts just because many people find your "style" rude and obnoxious.

By the way, i have severe vision problems, and am slowly going blind. One of the reasons that i rarely read David's posts is because they are extremely difficult to read, and can actually cause me physical discomfort if i try to read any very long post he poisons these threads with.

With THIS, I must agree.

That reminds me of what I used to call: " Abuzz Capital Punishment "
which meant that after someone became NASTY enuf,
over an unacceptably long period of time,
I just stopped reading his posts,
with the result that he vanished from my world
( from my sphere of cognition ).

I have pointed out,
in other threads, that when one converses FACE-TO-FACE,
one can intone his voice, raise or lower its sound volume, laff, wink,
whine, growl, sing, and use facial expressions, body language, or manual gestures
to get his point across.

On these fora, we can show differences of emfasis
( all ideas NOT being created equal )
by size of font and by coloration, inter alia.
Our means of communication r more limited
than when speaking in person; I endeavor to counteract that, to some extent
( which is DIFFERENT than shouting ).

I must accept your sincerity at face value.
I cannot concieve that u 'd misrepresent about this.

I have relatively slight and minor vision problems.
Thru the decades of my life, I have found small writing more difficult to read,
and large print has been easier to read, in my experience.
I must accept this as proof that it is error to project
our preferences onto others.

However, I have long suspected that leftists on this forum
have disliked my posts for more substantive reasons,
in that I have spoken up in support of personal freedom,
hedonism, and of individualism,
at the expense of collectivism, egalitarianism and authoritarianism.

I fully support the rights of leftists to dislike me and the freedom that I advocate.

I will endeavor to reduce the amount of coloration
and of large fonts, to some extent, consistent with expressing my ideas.

No actually you don't and you don't advocate freedom other that to say you advocate freedom to voice your opinion while denying that right to others, you are, in fact, a bigot.
