<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">My comments about Burkhardt in my last post were not about his general demeanor or his insensitivity. They were about examples of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">SPECIFIC CONTENT</span> of what he said in that news conference. That was not repetition. Specifically, I questioned his use of the term, <i>tampering</i> when referring to the firemen following MM&A procedures in shutting down the locomotive when responding to a report of it being on fire. Calling that action <em>tampering</em> is dishonest and scapegoating, not just a personality trait. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I am surprised that people are so sensitive about criticizing Mr. Burkhardt while being totally oblivious to the gravity of the fact that he is destroying another man’s life. Criticizing Burkhardt’s position in this, at this point, is like throwing a lifeline to his victim. There is a lot more going on with Burkhardt besides is personality. </span></p>
