After the cop leaves,..the Driver then gets out and holds up a sign saying "I've been Harassed" The passers by having watched the scenario unfold tell the inconsiderate driver that they think he was wrong and the cop was only enforcing the rules. The driver then says"If you don't support me,just keep on driving". Scenario 2 Driver gets ticket and complains privately to the cops bosses.thus saving himself public ridicule or humiliation. Scenario 3 Cop pulls driver over and says"What you are doing is against the rules" Driver says."Okay Cool,I didn't realize what I doing fell outside the rules" Cop says..no problem,lets go have a beer. Do you see yourself in this analogy? Do you see your part in the way this unfolded? I feel you were wrong in the first place and by bringing it here,you took it to a new level of wrongness. Perhaps your motive was to get people behind you and support your claim of harassment,and when you didn't get that support,you tell people not to post. I'm sure you don' t see it this way. I'm not always agreeable to the way the staff handles things here but I call a spade a spade.In this case,I feel they were right and well within their rights to enforce the TOS. BTW "I do'nt even have a car, that's how relative that liner was! Put closely enough together those to statements could be considered an attack.." This is called an "Analogy" it's a hypothetical scenario that illustrates similarities in a situation. Best of luck resolving this. Tom
