[quote user="Poppa_Zit"]You may have nailed it, though, by noticing my lack of patience for abstraction. I have been in the news industry for over 30 years and have been doing major market talk radio for nearly the same time and therefore find it extremely difficult to discuss in the abstract because in my business you simply cannot think that way. In addition, the average intellect (our audience) has trouble assimilating information in such discussions. Take this as a compliment: you are one of a very few who are perhaps a little too pointy-headed for most of the posters here. Plus, your avatar can be very threatening to most who don't understand your soft side. [:D]  [/quote] Well, I'll tell you what, if you truly think that you just paid me a compliment,  I'll just take it at face value, thank you for it, and leave well enough alone.  I got to thinking about this thread while I was at a ball game last night, and realized that one poster who obviously had intent to irritate  me may have exhausted all my patience before you ever even said "boo", and some of that may have carried over to our discussion, which I will say I regret, I shouldn't have let that happen. Sorry. Vinyl siding = lipstick?  heh, 40 year non smudge lipstick,  perhaps.  [:X] It is noteworthy, I feel, to muse over how the various and sundry supporters of the CSX side of this debate (over the past several months) are freely insulting of the city/citizens and their supporting arguments, and that is all seen as just "banter". However, turning the tables and pointing a few sarcastic barbs at the RR side of the contest  is viewed as being insensitive and being on a "high horse".  Sensitivities are a funny thing, hence the abstraction of the subject seemed well advised. Ahh well, I'm done for now.
