I don’t remember how scolding you for not wearing his seatbelt turned into such a fiasco, but it was a valid point and I know you will wear it every time in the future. I doubt it was from the point being driven home via this forum’s relentless pounding of the issue. About a decade ago I wore my seatbelt for long trips only. Then, just by chance, I put it on before driving across an intersection. My light turned green, I drove forward, and then was t-boned by a minivan that ran their red light. My car was obviously a write-off. The front right tire was underneath the left, and the passenger side door was an inch from my head. I walked away with some bruising and back injuries, but, I walked away. It only takes once to learn your lesson when it is something traumatic and I’m sure you learned his lesson.
The issue was this: “i hope you roll your shit with no seat belts and die!!! my 2 cents. later.”
Most of the people on this site are guys, and as guys, we act like guys. When someone hypothetically uses a black magic marker to write “sissy”, “victim”, or “puss” on their forehead, they are gonna catch crap. We do it to our brothers and best friends, it’s just the way thing are always going to be and not just on this forum. That is what friends do in addition to being “there” when they are needed. Think of it as a bonus. These are the kinds of lessons I was taught in college and the military but they certainly are not lessons unique to me.
Stop taking everything so personal, grow some balls, and enjoy the camaraderie. If I said anything to offend you, I meant it.
I would still do anything I could to offer assistance if you needed it and would wheel with you any day, any time. That is what everything boils down to.:kissyou:
