  You will never convince anyone by gaslighting them into believing you didn’t say things you did (especially where it’s clearly documented) and continually pursuing strawman arguments.

    Hmm? Now I'm honestly confused. What is the thing I said that I claim I didn't say?

      What I tried yo explain you there was that there was no “into the traffic” there. People didn’t “wonder” on the streets.

      You think: people who wonder on the street are to blame if they are hit.

      One of these things is not like the other.

        Yes, those are not the same and that's exactly the point.

        2nd one is me trying to understand your perspective and assumimg that you asses the irresponsibility of wondering into trafic must comr from the modern perspective in accordance with modern standards (existing traffic laws and road culture) - reality after PR campaign.

        1st one is pointing out that that traffic laws and road culture were different back then, and.we.can't even talk about "wondering into" traffic anymore than we could talk about "wondering into sidewalk" - reality before PR campaign.

        Those two not being the same is the result of PR campaign changing one state of round culture to another by stigmatizing being a pedestrian on the street. That's the problem we are discussing.

        Come on.

        (Man, I'm regretting biting after it was obvious this conversation is going nowhere. This time I'm truly out. Feel free to have your last word, but - hopefully - I'll not address it)
