Post #34,299 by CRConrad 4/3/02 3:15:22 PM Reply	The guy had a point, IMnshO. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be looking out for people -- kids -- down around knee-height, or to walk carefully enough not to knock some thirty-pound tyke over, at venues where there usually aren't any kids at all. How the fuck was he supposed to be expecting that to happen?!? Christian R. Conrad Of course, who am I to point fingers?

Post #34,347 by CRConrad 4/3/02 8:24:30 PM Reply	No, YOUR kid's 13 - Andy's was 5 at the time. Sheesh, Box... ...do try to keep the facts straight, willya?!? I mean, it's bad enough you often write at closer to a five- than a thirteen-year-old's level, but you can read, cant'cha?!? Yeah, since he's bigger than most women and as big as many men -- and most men would expect to see women, and other men, at a rock concert where they wouldn't expect to be stepping on toddlers, don'cha think? -- he'll probably be OK. To expect someone to run him over is about as unreasonable as not to expect someone to run over a five-year-old, in that situation, you see. Sheesh... What is it with you people? As soon as you've procreated, you give up your brains at the door, or what? Christian R. Conrad Of course, who am I to point fingers?

Post #34,353 by ben_tilly 4/3/02 9:13:57 PM Reply	Um, Christian has a point To answer your question, [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=34277\|...although when he was five someone knocked him down and then had the nerve to say to me 'if the little dude can't take it he shouldn't be up here'...] Christian's reply was talking about that incident.

Post #34,438 by CRConrad 4/4/02 5:14:45 PM Reply	Indeed it is... and you failed. As Ben pointed out, I was replying to the second paragraph of Andy's post. In the third para, which you are talking about, Andy and his kid had no problem when the boy was thirteen (provided some reasonable precautions were taken). But, more fundamentally... there Andy only talks about an anonymous "pressure from behind" -- where the fuck is the guy I was saying "had a point", in that?!? Don't try to sign me any signs, bubba -- you just got it wrong; be a man, admit it, and let us all get over it. Oh, and go to that concert, take your big young son with you, and have fun! :-) Christian R. Conrad Of course, who am I to point fingers?
