ffr crash

[Tommy]

I made a lot of bad decisions when I was young, ignorant and immature. It's par for the course when you're in your teens and early 20s. That's the reason I have a little sympathy for the driver in the crash that inspired this thread. ... But discussions like this one have provided all of us the opportunity to become less ignorant and more mature. The people who frustrate and irritate me are the ones who have lived long enough to overcome their ignorance and immaturity but insist on making bad decisions or encouraging them in others just for a momentary thrill or to "stir the pot."

Not every topic on this forum warrants a serious discussion free of humor, smart ass comments, irony and the like. And clearly some members think no discussion warrants that. But I see every discussion on the Internet as a permanent record that might be seen by anyone including those close to the people who inspired the conversation. I try not to say anything I wouldn't be comfortable saying to those same people face-to-face. That's what works for me. What you write says what works for you.
