If you look at the title of my post it says, "Re: Vehicle Bugout -Traffic Lights - MIRT? [Re: martinfocazio]".

That Re part in brackets at the end tells you who my post was referring to, and the "do whatever it takes" quote does as well (though it should have been "do what it takes to protect my family"). I apologize for not using the forum's Quote Function.

The part in my post regarding burning down a forest to save my own butt and not caring about what happens to anything else is referring to a post in the last few weeks about a hiker who accidentally started a forest fire. In the news item/thread the aforementioned hiker lit a signal fire after becoming lost. In that thread, people were a little cheesed that this hiker dared start a signal fire in the dry season to get rescued after only a few hours. My thoughts in this post regarding that one were a continuation of the idea of "Me and Mine Before You and Yours".

And that idea, "Me and Mine Before You and Yours" is what this MIRT is all about. There's no way to sugarcoat it.

In a forum where there are heros who save people's lives at the possible expense of their own I find the idea of "Me and Mine Before You and Yours" to be offensive. In a forum where Firemen, Law Enforcement Officers, Paramedics, SAR members and so on post their knowledge and offer helpful advice I find the idea of "Me and Mine Before You and Yours" to be the antithesis of what they stand for and for what this site stands for. I find the MIRT concept offensive.

I apologize for any confusion.

I have posted regarding the fact that I understand the topic does not violate the forum rules, and apologize for suggesting it should be deleted.

I'm not mad at anyone. No worries.
