re: #900 McSpiff

And I think you’re downplaying the impact the attacks, and the media coverage had on people outside of NYC.

You think? Think again. Like many people I was greatly affected by 9/11. I had a family member who barely escaped the second tower with her life. She has been unable to return to work since. THAT is what you call traumatised.

No-one is trying to minimise the feelings that people who lived outside NY had, but it’s a simple fact that there is an enormous difference between the trauma of 9/11 for those who were there, and for those who like myself were not, no matter how hard you may try to convince yourself otherwise.

Hostile dinging? honestly?

You introduced the claim of hostility. I don’t necessarily see a downding as hostility, but it’s the nearest thing to it in this discussion so far, and it came from you.
