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.

And I think you’re downplaying the impact the attacks, and the media coverage had on people outside of NYC. I don’t think Spare is claiming to be equal, but people were truly afraid for years later. I know people who still don’t like to fly, or don’t like office towers. These are not exactly uncommon. The event itself was local, the coverage most certainly wasn’t.

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.

Hostile dinging? Honestly?
