quote:Yes, it does say "New Member" under some names. But as for me, for example, not only am I not new to slugging, I'm a web designer who conducts another slug web site and has had many personal exchanges with the webmaster of this site as to possible future design enhancements. Therefore, just because someone has not posted a message before, it is not safe to assume they're green to the process. There seems to be some condescension to folks who have actively participated for years in other areas of the slugging community than making posts here. Peace, love, and respect to all! [:)] Oh, btw, I'm sure that the driver got the original email simply because she subscribes to the Rt.17 email list on this web site, recognized her car description, then jumped in with her response. She was incorrect to assume that the email was sent specifically to her. No real mystery there. |

No, no e-mail address on the badge (I had to check, grin) BUT this all sounds hokey to me as well because of one thing. Their are 2 acceptable drop off points at the Pentagon. One where the blue SLUG signs are and, of course, you have to drive around again to get back to Corridor 2/3 BUT the other one is right in front of Corridor 2. This gives the rider close access to the METRO/Bus stations AND elminates the need for the driver to have to "drive" around in a circle and can proceed on to Corridor 3 parking lot after drop-off. I even let my riders out at the Stop sign before Corridor 2 (get to the Pentagon at 0530 so early enough not to make a traffic jam) right where the entrance of the sidewalk is and no problems and no traffic cops telling me not too.
I don't feel one bad experience makes for a "calling out" post on the message board unless it's a very serious offense. My personal thoughts is a post stating what happened but no need to call out the vehicle on this one OR the negative attack back on hygiene and such. Let me know if I'm way off base here, I'm relatively new to posting but been driving/slugging for a year now. |

If you review my posts, I am really the #1 troll on this board and I resent govtchick1990 moving in on my action.
And from the "takes one to know one" department, Rebecca22193 is real. Govtchcik1990 is a troll. |

quote: Nothing against the newbies it just so happens that the new members seem to stir up a lot of conversation and after a while we wonder what is true and what is not...I'm kinda new myself but I have never had a problem with anyone when I've slugged. Sorry you had a bad experience this morning while trying to show your son the ropes of slugging but not all slug drivers or riders are bad, some are just rude. P.S. I love this thread! It has me coming back for more! |

Um, Rebecca, read under your name dear, NEW MEMBER, with as little posts as you, you ARE a newbie. You came on this site and expressed an opinion, and were ripped for it, you should have known by all the other threads here that would happen. Why are you so surprised? Now take a deep breath, and let the arguing continue!! (that means everyone)
:'} Good one, gtivr6ps.. |

Okay, I know I said I wouldn't post again. But now I'm confused about the message board. I had an experience this morning that I wanted to share, and I shared it. Isn't that what the message board is for? I never expected this reaction or response. (As far as all the "cat fight" remarks, I did not make a single personal remark about the driver -- just the circumstances. So that blows that theory.)
BTW, I am not a newbie and this was not my first post. If you discourage new people from giving their opinions in this forum, then it's really nothing more than an e-mail chain among a few friends. Becky |
