I challenged him/her/it either to clarify or to apologize for his remark. Let’s give him an adequate opportunity to do so.
You want the The KG9 Kid to apologize for hoping millions of Americans are burned out by wild fires?
Good luck with that.
If you'd have read it instead of typing with your fists and summoning your minions to battle, you'd have read that it wasn't *me* saying the cherry-picked comment "[...] hope California burns all year long".
That's certainly the tragic-comic language Western US FSLA-endowed union firefighters use when all of California's fire control budget turns on like a hydrant gushing out hundreds of millions of dollars every single summer. They come from as far as the Dakotas to get a piece of the action. Many of these firefighters haven't responded to a fire in their home states in years.
No apology is forthcoming.
