I'm not interested in a pissing match, Michael. I'd just love to see the video. My camera jammed, but I've got stills of the scene.

Exactly. The video is irrelevant [edit: BUT REALLY SHOULD BE POSTED ANYWAY]. It was the "extracurricular" activities that seem inconsistent with the general wisdom here.

No question about it, the post incident behavior was improper. Maybe I was getting bored with physical therapy and hospitals, but no excuse and I won't perpetuate that. All I really want, as you guys do, is to see the video. I watch so many others, I'd like to see my own. Promise not to open a pissing match, Lipa, it's behind us.
