Posted by trainsarefun on Wed Dec 12 22:53:24 2007, in response to Re: MTA training (Re: Called A ''Terrorist'' By A T/O), posted by Train Dude on Wed Dec 12 20:07:51 2007. For whatever reason, it seems that if the story told by nilet was true (and I still doubt it in its' entirety) his activities may have been distracting to the train operator.For purely prudential reasons, complying with the request would have been best. Perhaps follow-up, if there's time, about what about it's specifically distracting is helpful too. E.g., a certain position could be reflecting blinding light into the cab, etc. NYCT is entitled to ensure safe operation of its trains. Like many other incidents in life, even if the train's engineer was, in fact, being an ass - let's say for the sake of this paragraph that she was - then so what? We turn away from assholes everyday. The solution to being asshole isn't to be an asshole; otherwise the world would be full of assholes very quickly - assholes are great at provoking responses. A little runt of a kid ran into me exiting the train, today, because he was in a such a hurry to get in that he couldn't be bothered to wait for people to first alight the train. I'm fairly sure that I could have easily elevated my elbow slightly to cause him a not insignificant amount of pain such that he was thrown back. But what does that prove? That I have time to waste arguing with a piece of crap like that? Hardly. People who behave like that eventually get what's coming to them, anyway; you don't have to believe in karma or anything like that - stupidity and arrogance invite more stupidity and more arrogance. So you want my advice, Mr. Nilet? Walk away. Try to understand what the engineer's concern was, but even if it's a stupid reason, so what? Is it worth wasting your time on? But if you do judge it worth your while, then don't sit here and chat about it, especially with no proof of your allegations. Go pursue your right if you really think you were right and can prove it. |
