Um, the title of this thread was "Need to rant" not "Need to have people sympathize with my position."

I don't care if you disagree with me or not. But I'm not okay with people using bad logic to condemn me.

I know what a tu quoque fallacy is, I know how logic works. It doesn't really apply much when you ask for others' sympathy since you're appealing for emotion. Emotion is not always based in logic, believe it or not.
Good, now do you know what an assumption is?

Also, not once did I say any driver was excused for running over your free flares.
But in your unequal condemnation of me you did.
Quote:
I said you should get over it and count your blessings. To reiterate what I said in my first post - no sympathy here. You put me and my loved ones in danger, I'm not going to give a flying hoot about your road flare getting snuffed.
I put no one in any more danger that they wouldn't have done on their own.

Please notice that the people keep referring to that I "put in danger" or that I was "lucky" are people who were talking on cell phones or not paying attention. Heck, a stop sign would be just as dangerous as I was.
