I see nothing convenient about it, I just didn't see it as relevant. I also didn't see her justifying anything other than the county selected bus stop would place her child by itself at a distance greater than what she felt was safe for the child. And apparently the county agreed and adjusted the pickup location.
So for clarity, what was your handle before you came back as OccamsRazor?
Maybe not relevant to the point you are trying to make. Very relevant to mine. Regardless, it was said. And, in the context which it was said it showed a contradiction. Which I asked about and was never answered.
Not a returning participant. It doesn't take more than a few days (maybe even hours or minutes) to see that people contradict themselves. I have found the typical storyline to be:
For some people - making you give up by any means necessary constitutes a "win". And it can be name-calling.
I can understand this posture when there has been actual conversation. However, when one just adds or comments on a discussion that is contradictory or inflammatory in nature and then just cuts and runs when asked to clarify or justify the comment... that is NOT "realizing nothing further is gained by discussing with someone not worthy of your time." That is dropping a turd and running.
Coveted is the operative term. DeeJay is one, for me. She created, owns and maintains the site. She doesn't HAVE TO post anything. I go to lots of forums where the forum owner or operator never appears except to boot off undesirables.
People don't want to split hairs, either. This isn't a courtroom. You're just as likely to have people give up, because no one wants that.
Thanks Ken. You get it.
I made sure my child was in a safe environment for catching her buses. She has been out of school for several years now, so I no longer need to make any of those arrangements, hence, I can take my time and chill.
Oh yes, I remember that night!
Wasn't it the same night that the ceiling fell in on Watercolor's husband when he was in the bathroom? 
Thank you. So, my previous assertion was true then. When it directly affected you then your stance was "I have to get to work." Now, that it does not directly affect you, your stance is "I can take my time and chill."
Yup. I haven't seen them in a while, but my wife says she sees them from time to time.Oh yes, I remember that night!
Pretty sure the wife and I were leaving when you went slip sliding. Don't remember being hugged.
You know - when my wife has to drive to DC - something she doesn't do often - I ask "when are you driving?" Oh around 7. Oh - plan an extra hour. There will be traffic. To Baltimore? Midday - oh ok, but plan for rush hour on the WAY HOME.
Several of us actually went to their wedding.
Agree with the "insurmountable change" point. If people are not going to put in the effort to make this change then the complaints that started this thread should be stopped as well. I made my initial points on where I stand and examples of why this should be addressed.
Only the second time I’d ever been made a groomsman.
Then I promise, my last point on the thread - you’re wasting your breath if you think people will stop complaining about something they can’t change. It’s probably the biggest thing people DO complain about.
Like your suggestion that all families with children should move in to concentration camps...one bus stop.
Finally.
Speaking of tur... oh never mind.
