[Quietcars] 2009 Washington Seminar Materials

[michael townsend]

It might be well if you could share such materials, Bob, as I have no idea
what you're speaking about, but I do appreciate all you do here on list.  If
this was on this list, it's understandable,

Hi,

Your training materials are probably ready to go but I'd like to offer one
last suggestion. Caution your folks to be as respectful of 'the honorable
competition' as they wish to be taken seriously. This was brought home this
evening:

We had a new user sign-up and post in one of our vehicle specific threads.
He made the usual claims but also had "a chip on his shoulder." Attitude is
OK but to make a false claim of there having been a personal attack has to
be treated the same way we deal with those who actually make personal
attacks. Sad to say, I had to give him an infraction and delete his first
posting because he made a false claim of a personal attack. Not to worry,
I'd quoted most of his posting with on topic, facts and data. Only his
'invective' and my reply citing his 'invective' were converted to
'********." 
 

We may not agree on every aspect of pedestrian safety but we don't have to
be disagreeable. Older folks pretty well understand this but folks new to
the issue and advocacy work may get a little 'carried away.' A word to wise
is about all we can ever do.

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
