City Hall it was then ... that ONE episode was a major killer as far as the wigs went ... the "big one." :(

And let's agree to disagree that crews, management, or the police can tell the difference between "hobbyists with respect," "tourists" or "terrorists" as far as that "flashy thing" goes ... doesn't matter if you're temporarily blinded by WHOEVER ... it's something crews do not like no matter WHO does it - thus the "proposed photo ban." I'm not judging "hobbyists," merely trying to explain WHY the attitudes. Same for "trespassing" ... ANYONE does it, they ALL did it as far as the wigs are concerned.

But the "coup de grace" was "the cursing photographer" on a FEW of those events ... and their DOING it in front of a child whose DAD was an MTA board member ... well, that was just the icing on the cake. :(

Just so's we understand each other ... personally, I don't care. I couldn't afford to get to the city to do any of those - I really would have LOVED to. Issue of MOD trips came up and there were questions about the next one, all I did was explain WHY there won't be anymore. Paturkey appointed the morons who make policy. In NOVEMBER there are elections coming - choose wisely. MAYBE we'll get some replacement wiglets appointed to the Empty-yay with a little less "rectal-cranial intercession." :)

MTA *watches* the various "boards" and the behavior of people ON them. Not just here, strappies and others. Until the "collective behavior of foamers" shows a new direction, their minds are made up and they REVEL in printing out more "PROFF" of WHY you don't want "these people" on the trains. Someone else here offered a perspective too - that once upon a time, "special trips" solicited people who showed up in "suit and tie," "respectful of the equipment AND their sponsors," and behaved like civilized people. It is precisely THAT difference that made the impression to the republicans who run the MTA ... "WHY are we lactating for the great unwashed?" :(
