Posted by Train Dude on Fri Dec 14 22:38:59 2007, in response to Re: MTA training (Re: Called A ''Terrorist'' By A T/O), posted by Train Dude on Fri Dec 14 20:44:22 2007. 1) I don't know what memo Brian is referring to or how he managed to get hold of this alleged memo.2) I cannot find any official mention of the alleged incident that Nilet is referring to. All that having been said, I am finding this entire thread to be quote revealing of the mentality of the typical foamer. The NYCT as all other rail transit properties is in business to transport customers from point A to point B as rapidly, cheaply and safely as possible. This is done with varying degrees of success but usually getting a passing grade. They are not in business to provide subject matter for hobbyists or photographers. To the extent that they bend to accommodate the hobbyist aand photographer while carrying out their primary mission, they do a fair balancing act - as evidenced by "open houses", "rail-fan trips" and general accommodation of the participants. However, based on this thread, it's clear that the attitude of most of the participants is "Damn the legitimate concerns of the properties and the customers, since all that is important is "OUR RIGHT TO TAKE PICTURES". Those such as Nilet, whineburg and most others here who "Demand" their rights over those legitimate concerns damage the relationship between the operating agency and the hobbyist. Those who profess to know what those legimate concerns for security should be, colored by their own selfish motives, only engage in sub-intellectual masturbation for their own amusement. What everyone seems to forget is that the NYCT according to that same often-quoted pamphlet, IIRC, can unilaterally change the rules about on-system photography or ban it altogether at their discretion. Other properties have already done so. What i do not understand (and I speak only as acitizen andhobbyist here) is why those such as weenieburg and nilet want to continue to provoke such a response by their lack of flexibility and accommodation for the agency's legitimate concerns. |
