Post A Picture of Yourself, Part 2: I'll Start Us Off~

[HejiraNYC]

Oh goodness... I smell another thread that's going to get the lock-out treatment soon. Y'all start behaving now, ya hear?

Well, as someone sitting on the sidelines with no skin in the game, I'll add my own $0.02 (because I know everyone wants my opinion. )

-Dani: Look, I know you meant well, and posting pictures is what keeps this thread alive. But the reality is that most, if not all people here are not too keen about underage drinking (myself included). Maybe it's something you'll realize when you have racked up as many miles as the rest of us, but underage drinking is so not cool; nothing good can come of it. Ever. Yes, I realize the photos are not iron-clad evidence that underage drinking occurred in a bar, but a reasonable association could be drawn circumstantially. You can't deny that. So if people draw that conclusion, it is for a reason. As such, I think you overreacted and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment. Yes, there is an element of snark somewhere among the responses. But this is the Ledge- we are snark-mongers. We dish it, we take it.

-Nikolaj: Look, I know you meant well about maintaining the privacy of people who may or may not have served alcohol to an underage patron. But ultimately, if these people indeed broke some kind of federal or state law, then let them suffer whatever consequences come their way. If they are innocent bystanders (which, by the way, I think is unlikely), these photos alone would not be enough to incriminate anyone. As such, you may have created a bit of a tempest in a teapot with this. You may find it morally reprehensible, but sometimes it's better to keep mum about things that ultimately will come to no good, no matter what the outcome.

-Bee: Look, I know you meant well. But you totally got flogged with shrapnel in the heat of battle. Words for the wise: stay the bloody eff outta the line of combat 'cause you're gonna get hit!

Now please kiss and make up. All of you.
