That's right Bill you "think" you know. But you do not. Next time, don't try to be so condescending, and assume you know what I'm thinking, because I don't think you're quite capable of knowing what I'm thinking. You're quite capable of ASSUMING. And you AMUSE me. Good luck with that, see how far it takes you.

Alan ,

Let's try to keep the personal nuances ("condescending") out of this and concentrate on the issue of the two red light rule protocal, shall we?

If I seemed "condescending" I apologize. My insulting people would serve no positive purpose, here; It's hard enough to get reasonable people to discuss this issue with me, without making them angry. If I did that, it was unintentional, and I'm sorry.

Aside from that, your contention, " He didn't get a chance to red light, I screwed up, let the clutch fly too soon, and beat him to the red light. My mistake. I commented on the situation all I needed to. I screwed up first, I lost. Brutally honest, brutally simple."
deftly side-steps the issue of, "Where was HIS chance to screw up and red light, maybe worse that YOU???"

That is part and parcel of the rationale that "You screwed up" and by doing so, removed that part of what I think, should be commensurate with HIS responsibility, to be fair to you. With the current setup, he escapes the kind of red light jeopardy that you were under, and there's no legitimate reason why he should enjoy that advantage,

That is, if you want a set of rules that treats everyone the same...

And, why would you not want that?

No, I DON'T know what you're thinking if you wouldn't want everyone to face the same red light jeopardy. Right now, they don't.
