Are you criticizing me or the moderation here?
Here, check out these headlines:
USA Today: “Jamboree campers thinned out: No obese Boy Scouts”
CNN: “Boy Scouts ban obese kids from outing”
NBC: “Obese Boy Scouts left out of national gathering”
Troppus: “Disney excludes pregnant women from rides”
Do see any similarity in the above statements which made national headlines, and the statement I made? Those headlines made an abbreviated, blanket statement which most people understand. But those headlines aren’t “the whole truth” as you’ve demanded it. *All *obese Boy Scouts are not banned. Did you apply the same fervor to your letters to the editor insisting they correct the headlines to “Morbidly obese Boy Scouts with BMI of 40+ banned from Jamboree”?
I’m guessing you didn’t. You just chased me through the thread to push an unimportant point because… why? Here, look at your posts:
I thought you went a little shrill trying to force the Disney issue, and didn’t feel your point was relevant to the discussion. You can’t force someone to respond you, and chasing them repeatedly through a thread is just… odd. Someone on the internet is wrong, I guess you feel it’s your job to right the travesty. Thing is, this is a casual conversation, I didn’t provide cites, and I’m pretty sure that most readers knew that Disney has attractions that pregnant women can attend, well, because family. But the larger point is that parks have the right to protect attendees from themselves, and themselves from liability. Your needling wasn’t necessary, unless you do make a habit of correcting headlines, professional writers, reporters, etc.
The moderators may very well tell me to tone it down or post in a less contentious manner, and I’ll follow their instructions. But they aren’t going to force posters to apologize to you for declining to respond to your repeated demands for attention, I’m certain of that.
