Re: Drunk cityrail driver

[David Bradshaw <davidbradshaw@my-deja.com>]

Calm down.... So the original poster made an assumption, and perhaps it
was a silly assumption, but I don't think that warrants wanting to
drive your train over him. For sure, state your point of view, correct
any errors he has made, but don't feel the need to make such outlandish
and inflammatory comments. Attack their argument and promote your point
of view over theirs; attack the person and you lower yourself.

Cheers, David.
