[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Thanks folks.. i know all of you are smart enough not to tresspass...we have had threads upon threads about it...and most of the people here are intelligent enough to do their fanning from a legal standpoint. But all that said, what I would have wished for is any other conclusion to this besides what happened in the end. My posting wasnt aimed at you folks, nor was it a attempt to garned praise...it was a outlet for my anger at being put in a position where there was no other choice. Sad for the fan...(hush, Gabe!) because he now has a criminal record....sad for me because I now am the proud owner of a serious butt chewing by my boss over even mentioning it on a public forum. He can stick it, but still, didnt need the hassle.. Point is, I wanted the "fan" to think, once he had calmed down, about what he was doing and where he was... Hopefully if he reads it, instead of hearing it while he is trying to take pictures, well, maybe some of it will sink in. Pleas, folks, dont play the guessing game about who it is...our Risk Management Officer has already warned me about ever even hinting at the persons name...think about it and you will all see why... End result is we all lost.... All over some photos I would have gladly taken for him... And so it goes.... Ed [/quote] MY [2c]? The person must not have been the brightest burning bulb on the block,...for not having the sense to take the break you tried to give him. I think it's just a natural human tendancy to pu***he envelope, ...go somplace beyond where you know you should stop, ( 1. to get a better view, and 2. just to get away with it) And when you do, and someone makes their displeasure known,....I think that it would take a real fool not to see the blessing in being told to leave,....since the alternative would be to be told you have to stay (as in "detained"). I've only been asked to get off RR property twice in 48 years,...one of those just this past summer. Did it make me angry? Well, sure in the "disappointed" sense, but I wasn't so stupid to not realize that following the guys pointing finger was my best bet at the time.. Considering the alternative. Besides, I figured he was just doing what his job insisted he do,...to any outsider, I sure wasn't gonna take it personal. What's amazing is the number of positive encounters I've racked up over the years, running into MOW workers, yard crews, engine crews waiting for relief, who were easily as "chatty" as I was,...of course I showed the common respect of behaving in a reasonably safe fashion,..not standing between the rails like some idiot waiting to get hit.
