Email I got from a friend at work- (I added nothing)

Your driver analogy still doesn't work.

Your friend (Driver B) never cut us (Driver A) off.

In fact, Driver B was never on the same road as us.

Driver B yelled his favorite song into your ear (or gave you a bunch of spiders or whatever).

You thought his song (or spiders) was cool.

You got into Driver A's car, knowing full well that they have different musical taste (or don't like spiders), but decided to yell the song into Driver A's ear anyway (or dumped the spiders).

To claim that Driver A is impotently shouting is wrong, plain and simple.

You want a discussion? Then say "My friend Driver A yelled this song in my ear. Do you mind if I sing it to you my way? I'd like your opinion."

You want a reaction? Scream the bloody song. Just don't wuss out and claim it wasn't you. I don't see your friend's name anywhere on your post.

how is it I can post MY analogy for how I personally felt about the thread and you can tell me I'm wrong? I don't recall anyone here getting authority to validate my feelings or my analogy.

I'm not wussing out, and my friend did not write it either. I made it clear that I was not the author- that's all. I was not going to validate or deny anything on the email.

Thanks for the post MBC- I appreciate it. (even if I don't happen to agree with it all)
