I didn't make that claim. If you go back to my post you will see the "?". I was commenting on the authors claim that rage was not a problem till they banned smoking.
Hmmm. You somehow took this statement, "Perhaps they have taken note that incidence of “air rage” only became prevalent AFTER smoking was banned on aircraft."
And stated exactly, "
Interesting. Why are smokers more violent than non-smokers?"Rather than something not so matter-of-factly such as, "Interesting. Why does this author seem to strongly suggest to the reader that smokers may be more violent than non-smokers?"
Another question: If you're so against smokers, why enter the smoking threads and try to stir the pot? Smokers can't even have their own threads anymore without grief from the opposition? Statements like, "
I think I have just found another irritable smoker. Or is it, another irritable smoker has found me." seem almost as if you're trying to provoke smokers. Along with, "
No. Just the typical smokers." It just kinda makes it seem like you have intense resentment or hostility toward us. I'm not a pilot, does this mean that I should post on all of the aviation lists and complain about pilots, their wages, their habits, their attitudes and their lifestyle choices?
It's not just you, but being a new member to the "Puff List," I was just curious about the reasoning behind jumping into a thread about smoking, KNOWING smokers will post, and start trashing them.
SheLion, this happen all the time?
