Hi Bill -
Maybe I over reacted but I'm sick of people promoting violence. It leads
to escalation. You criticize someone for not being a polite driver and
not letting you in - well, couldn't you be the polite driver and just
fall in behind them? And the hill he dies on nonsense - that's ridiculous.
I don't expect you to know anything about shootings in my vicinity. My
point was that its a mistake to think you can intimidate someone and
expect them to back down, because there are a lot of people who are in a
place where crashing into your nice truck makes more sense than getting
out of your way. And folks who feel that way aren't just here in the US,
they are everywhere. It's not about my country or your country, its
about human reality.
I'm done here.

Mark, you are projecting. You can stop anytime please and thank you.
I'm sorry there was a shooting in your vicinity, but why you would expect
me to know about it or think more about it than any other from the rather
constant stream of shootings in your country?
Be well.

My rather large truck changing lanes on top of his puny little
Chevrolet based roller skate intimidated him enough that he decided
that he wasn't yet climbing the hill we was meant to die on, but
still, why not just be a polite driver and let a person merge?

Not sure what you are trying to prove here, Bill. That you are a tough?
That you are a bully? That you got a really bad ass truck?
Last night some guy walked onto the pier at South Haven, Michigan - a
place where I have taken hundreds of photos. He shot a couple standing
there enjoying the view, killing one and critically wounding the other.
Then he opened fire on a beach filled with families and lots of children
- thankfully hitting no one. Then he turned the gun on himself.
He was a guy who didn't mind dying on that hill. Hell, he probably
wished he was dead already. I wouldn't mock some who "decided that he
wasn't yet climbing the hill we was meant to die on." You're a good guy,
Bill. Act like it and leave the BS behind.
