You are armed, hopefully. What do you do?

Ask George Zimmerman. It happened to him.
Ya cause he got himself in trouble and had to take on that black kid when he should have stayed the heck away.

You defend yourself.
Hopefully you don't blast the punk into oblivion but if it's you or him you still blast away anyway.
It's easier justifying your actions in a courtroom than from a mortuary slab.
Let's not get into the whole Trayvon/George fandango again but let's just say that as unfortunate as the outcome was the original police investigation,the subsequent trial and the federal investigation into the chances of another prosecution,fuelled by an outrageous intervention into the legal process by the POTUS,all agreed that Zimmerman had no case to answer.
Justice was done.

Edit: I meant to quote the post above this one.

If the shoe fits.... if you notice I did not direct my comment at any individual in particular, more towards a type of behavior exhibited by a number of posters on the forum. Your knee-jerk attack on my comment suggests you know in which category you belong, whther or not you care to admit it. But as I have said before, it makes no difference to me what your opinions are about Florida, or anywhere (or anything) else for that matter. Whatever conflicts you may have in your mind that make you focus on the negative about a location in which you no longer even live are your problem.

In fact i find the negative posts usually more entertaining than the positive posts eg; tell me how an alligator tried to eat your dog today and i'm interested to read more.Tell me how fire ants destroyed your picnic and i'm interested.
Telling me how much fun you had at the beach today brings on yawns or the tired old story of how moving to Florida was the best move of your life and i'm getting reminded its getting close to nap time..

At least you are honest about it. And if you compare the numbers of posts on threads covering any controversial, or negative topic, as opposed to those which are positive or just informative, you'll find the controversial threads have a lot more posts. That makes me suspect that a lot of folks feel the same way you do!

Is that the price of admission into the Florida forums? Do we all need to have *feel good* post?

Sometimes I try to answer questions or just join in discussions without saying anything negative. There are a handful of posters on here who are going complain no matter what I post.

So you're just proving my point with your own comments. Your blaming the OP's "tone" for your own negative comments on the thread as though he was waving a red flag in front of a bull and you just could not help yourself is just silly. Last I checked participation in any forum is optional, no one twisted your arm or poked you with a cattle prod forcing you to respond to the OP's comments. Your doing so was your own choice, so put on your big boy pants and own it.

It's still a mystery to me as to why anyone who professes to dislike a place as much as you apparently do Florida continues to dwell on your perceived negatives about it, (even using it as a screen name), especially as you don't even live there anymore. But it's your choice, your little game, doesn't effect anyone else's life one way or the other. You would be better off, though, losing the defensive attitude when someone points out this behavior to you, acting that way does even less for your credibility than blaming others for your negative posts.

But generally you'd agree that the vast majority of your near 3000 posts have been entirely negative about Florida.
Florida must have hurt you reeeal bad to have such an obsession.
