It was not "unthinking." It came after considerable thought. And it was not directed at you, personally, it was directed, as I stated to ANYONE who is so ignorant of lightning that they would put players safety and lives in jeopardy.
I stand by that. This serous business, not a mindless attack. Lightning kills people every year. To allow a game to continue when lightning sruck less that 200 feet from players is inexcusable.
