Good. Post it. Don't forget exactly what my original post said - a difference between how two people see a same thing differently in a first minute. Yesman065 immediately was worried about something he could do nothing about. In that same one minute, I saw a bigger picture. Where is that an insult to anyone? Yesman065 posted exactly what is summarized here. But you tell me. Where is this paragraph in error? How does my post differ from what he did?

So where is the attack? Show me where DanaC cites reasons for ít being an attack? She even quotes a phrase that attacks no one, calls that an attack, and does not say why. So show me where "and don't see the bigger picture" attacks anyone. If you see a reason 'why' in DanaC's post, then rephrase it and post it here. Yes it is an overt challenge. Show me. I am now going right after the same mindset that also creates racism, bar room fights, and support for the 'Pearl Harboring' of Iraq.

Demonstrated is a difference between what yesman065 saw and what I saw. That yellow school bus: time to worry about it was long ago when this failure was predictable. Whereas contents of that bus were immediate concern to those on the bridge, instead, the rest of us should be worrying about all school busses.
Yesman immediately replied that he was tired of such attacks. What attack? Show me because DanaC will not. She only says it is an attack – does not post any reason why. Show me where that attack is. Show me the words that disparage anyone. You cannot without applying personal biases and implications. And that is the point, is it not? Where is this paragraph in error?

Simply stated was how two people responded to a same event in a first minute - nothing more. Yesman065 immediately replied about being tired of being attacked when the only attack was in his head. He cannot even cite text that attacks him because none exists. He repeatedly ignores request to cite that attacking text. Where is this paragraph in error?

But show me. Show me why that text is an attack. DanaC does not. If you think otherwise, then show me. That's maybe four different 'show me's requested because so many have opinions – and will not even cite a single reason why. Show me where and why an attack exists without adding personal biases or implications.

OK...here's Dana's explanation:

You have made a leap from one thing to another and in the process accused yesman of the worst kind of myopia. How do you know he doesn't see the bigger picture, simply because he chose to comment on a small part of the picture?
However...

I never said whether I agreed with her explanation, or not.
