You have overlooked an important distinction, Bill, because there is a world of difference between my posts and njba's.
Both the Peter Fitzsimons and Danny Green posts you quoted relate to my own first hand experiences - situations where I know the facts and details because I was actually there and participated. Isn’t this thread supposed to be a bit of frivolous banter about such first hand sightings?
On the other hand, njba, wrote this in obvious reference to my Danny Green post:
“I sort of feel for celebrities: they always have to be up for a chat because otherwise for the rest of their life someone is going to be telling stories about how rude they were.
I couldn't imagine how awful strangers constantly coming up to me would be! Still, they sort of signed up for the life, didn't they?” (my bold)
Despite having absolutely zero personal knowledge of the circumstances and whether I was or wasn’t a “stranger”, njba decided that he had a more insightful understanding of MY experience than I did – and proceeded to make inferences that were nothing short of impertinent and bordering on disparaging of me. There was no substance to his comments and he deserved to be “called out” on that.
