[Vision2020] Grow UP!!!

[Tom Hansen]

Normally when people inquire as to how somebody was injured, they don't ask"

 

"What's your story?'

 

Normally the question is along the lines:

 

"How did you get injured?'

 

"How did it happen?"

 

Given the tenor of the thread (accusatory and name-calling), when dick
asked:

 

"Great picture, care to share the story?"

 

I felt insulted by the implication of his "story" reference.

 

If my interpretation is incorrect, I apologize and promise to be more civil
in future responses.

Enough Already!!!

 

I posted a picture here of a Marine tending to some grass, planted in soil
and with seeds from home.  This for no other reason than I thought some here
might enjoy it.  Hansen had to counter with a picture of his own, showing
himself on crutches and with some story about how long he had been in the
hospital.

 

I simply asked him if he would care to share the story of his injury with
us, and he went off the deep end.  Now the whole thing has taken on a life
of its own.  This is stupid!!

 

I never demanded that Tom share his story, I only asked if he cared too.  He
simply could have stated that he didn't and that would have been the end of
it.  Instead he got all paranoid and made himself look like some garret
trooper, seeking glory for being a war hero of some sort.  Maybe he really
is, who knows?  Point is, I was not trying to put him down or question his
sincerity.  That was all in his own feeble, paranoid mind.

 

No one else is making Hansen look foolish over this.  He is doing it all by
himself and maybe without any reason other than the fact he is a smart ass
punk to begin with.  That's ok, it's his right.

 

Let it drop for pete's sake!

 

Let's just grow up and drop it.  Ok?
