Default When is too many at a glider meet

Doc? I need help! This thread is giving me flashbacks beyond-in-time even a
certain lurking Leonard, all the way back to middle school!!! (Did not! Did
too! Did NOT!! Did TOO!! etc.)

How about letting it go, Tom? Taking your most recent post-ending statement at
face value, i.e....

"My interest is making these events safer, nothing more, nothing less. Too
many gliders at a meet is unsafe, that is my point. Is that REALLY too hard to
understand?

"Best regards, Tom"

....and, further, having read and paid focused attention to this entire
revealing thread, IMO most serious posters did in fact understand the
question/point. I didn't see one poster who actually addressed the basic
question (as most have in some way or another), who did NOT seem to grasp and
address your question. The fact most (all?) of them seem to have a more
nuanced view than you seem to hold, and differing opinions, may be
disappointing to you, but it's one measure of reality. There comes a time
simply to deal with it and move on.

FWIW, it's my considered opinion that the response immediately below is
something I'd more likely expect to find in a middle school spat than between
respectful adults...and to be explicit, I found P3's and 9B's posts 100%
mutually respectful, even if you do not. Being forthright - blunt, if you will
- is not definitional disrespect. Nor is polite disagreement vilification. Sorry.

Major snip...

Andy, you are hopeless. This whole thread has been nothing but a personal
invective towards me. He was making a character statement about me,
therefore HIS character becomes fair game.


Wow. Not into "moral high ground," eh?

Respectfully,
Bob W.
