Why? I've never been there (aside from the airport, which is the
pits).

Drive in Chicagoland, and you will find out what aggressive drivers
are like.
Given how factually challenged everything else you posted is, why
should I believe you?

Mr. Zaumen is confusing his opinions with facts.


Liar.

Channeling Vandeman?

How can an opinion be a lie?

People told me how awful it was to drive in Boston and Chitown.
Well, I have driven in Boston and ridden a bike there. Now, drivers
could be pretty eratic, but it was random - they weren't targeting
anyone in particular. But that was a while ago, and conditions may
have changed.
I can see why Tom Sherman had to try to change the subject,
though. :-)

Ever drive in the 'hood?


Have you graduated from high school?

Well, I dropped out once from high school, but that was due to crappy
teachers, administrators and students.

I do have a engineering degree in transportation facilities design,
however. I even have both "English" and "Metric" copies of the AASHTO
"Green Book".

Since you want to play this game, what are your credentials in
transportation facility analysis and/or design?

Bill, you truly have too much time on your hands.


Let's just say that I don't have much patience for someone who's
"contribution" to a discussion consists of statements like
"Ever drive in the 'hood?".

I see examples every day in the 'hood of people ignoring the vehicle
code and trying to intimidate others with their vehicles. I imagine that
"Silicon Valley" where Zaumen (apparently) lives has quite a different
demographic.

OK, come to the 'hood and get capped by a gangbanger. This ain't Silly
Cone Valley. Its your funeral (literally), not mine.


Are you an adult?

Enough to know that looking at someone in the 'hood could be interpreted
as a challenge. Not a smart thing to do to someone who may well be armed
and not care too much about going back to prison for a bit.

I would like to see Zaumen come to the 'hood and pontificate on the
motor vehicle code.

Time for Bill Zaumen to get out in the real world.
Time for you to get a sense of reality, and for you to stop trying to
change the subject to weasel out of an untennable position.

Got anything of content to post?


Let's just say I'm getting tired of having to cross check the stuff
you post just to verify how wrong it is, which I've done several times
in the last two days.

Citation?

=v= I never thought I'd see the day when Bill Z was quoting
RicSilver. :^) You forgot to preserve the typos, though.

Alas, in this case it was true. :-)

Yep, that's Ric.

You made a very clear, false statement about me, and you lied.

It shows.

I do have a engineering degree in transportation facilities design,
however. I even have both "English" and "Metric" copies of the AASHTO
"Green Book".

I'm not impressed.

Why don't you cut your childish banter and act like an adult? Nobody
is going to get shot at merely for keeping track of the vehicles and
pedestrians around them to avoid hitting someone.

Stop playing childish games. You behavior was documented over and over
the last few days.
