Missing the point of my post (WAS: Re: Re: Helicopter EMS)

[Guest guest]

Everyone is missing the point of my post and I wish I had changed the SUB

Line before making that post as I can see why in the Sub Line that I posted

too how my point was lost.

Gene didn't belittle anyone as far as the previous Sub Line is concerned

others did

My point which was lost in the thread (my fault for not changing the Sub

Line) is that we all too often in EMS (and a hell of a lot of other places)

jump to the point of belittlement of the posters and or we circle our wagons

to protect our sacred cows and so on.

Common civility seems to be lost in almost everything these days and sadly

inn the absolute worst case that leads to the incidents that started the

whole discussion on HEMS use in AZ and then sadly we loose all focus on the

fact people are dead and wounded and we fight over stupid stuff (grand

scheme of things wise).

On three different lists that I am on there are heated debates about this

AZ incident related to a few different aspects of the Incident. None have

mention the fact that multiple folks are dead including a 9 year old and

unless you looked it up in the media none mention the names of those folks or

the ones injured. In all facets of society we have lost touch with the

humanity in these things or so it seems to me.

Who belittled an EMS newbie? Gene stated his opinions, but I don't

recall him attacking anyone.
