I've been slugging for 10 years and I can count my bad experiences on one hand.  In fact, one of the main reasons I slug is because I enjoy the people that I meet along the way.  This is truly an anomaly.  I find the personal jabs here particularly childish and distasteful.

	Thanks for the chuckle, folks. I needed it. I'm not sure I'd have sat there patiently. I would have said stop the car and let me out. But some folks are more patient than others. Happy slugging, all......

	I'm afraid I'm going to have to assign a "Bob's" credibility rating of only 3 on this thread. Both parties going to work and signing on with new user names on the same day? Don't think so.

Sorry Bob, I wish you were right.� As odd as it seems, it does appear that they both were able to connect here.� I personally know one of the parties involved. I guess that reveals me as not being a non-biased, objective poster.... [:D]

	My final input...I have been very courteous to all that have rode with me, in fact made some great friends along the way. So if you don't want to ride with me that is fine...just trying to get to work like everyone else. So I will no longer pick up on Rt 17...thanks to the couple of folks that were nice to me during my travels North.

	I agree with Bob...seems like another drama episode to get everyone all involved. When slug-lines.com continues

	quote: *Originally posted by govtchick1990* My final input . . . I will no longer pick up on Rt 17... You know, you're the one who escalated this. If you felt that you didn't do anything wrong, a simple "Oh, I thought..." and/or "Sorry for the misunderstanding" and/or any other civil response, and this would have been a dead issue. However, you showed the level of your class and maturity by reaching new lows and turning this into a mud-wrestling match.

	I would have jumped out of the moving vehicle and done one of those rolls like they do in the movies. I always wanted to do that anyways.
