re: #877 Jimmah

We all had a strong reaction to 9/11. However, it’s silly to try to suggest that the feelings of people like myself and others who were not there cannot equal that of those who lived and worked in the vicinity. That is the point that was being made by iceweasel and others here tonight.

What hostility are you talking about? As far as I can see, the only hostility in this discussion was yours, when you downdinged ice’s 801, and proceeded to defend Spares litmus test, which you are now backtracking on.

That is like saying people outside NOLA were less upset about Katrina than people who were their.

Literal experiences differ by virtue of proximity, of course.

Emotional reactions are not bound by geography.
