Personally, I really like and appreciate posts from regular people on what they observe around town. Most of the time, while they may not have all the facts surrounding the circumstances of an event, the postings are honest observations. I don't really expect posters to know all, and at some point, the real facts emerge from subsequent posters who are good at ferreting out stuff. Why in the world does this irritate?

WOW - if the OP had included a link to his original post so we knew what he was referring to it would have eliminated the need for a whole lot of these questions. We are simply looking for more information - I don't see anyone flaming the OP. I also don't see the OP complaining about poor treatment except doubters from his original post which I have no idea what it was.
