[quote=“Mucha Man”][quote=“Charlie Jack”][quote=“yuli”][quote=“Charlie Jack”]What a strange thing!
I post a quote from a website which is all about drought, and which characterizes, defines, and categorizes drought […]
And then you come back with this:
Charlie Jack, things like that happen in all threads! And they don’t mean what you think it means…
This has happened to me more than once: I’ve just read the posts of X and Y and start formulating a response, which takes me some time, because I am going to reference some other document in that reply. In the meantime Z posts something, and when my post is done it ends up after Z’s post - and my post is perfectly out of sync, and I look like someone who can’t read (or worse).
In short: quite obviously Muzha Man was not addressing you or your post.

That’s quite plausible…

Plausible? I said above that is exactly the case. You’re weird, Charlie. Whatever I’ve done to make you act like a sniping grade 3 femme, I apologize sincerely. [/quote]
I just see things differently from you, and you can’t accept that. Even if I hadn’t made that post, your approach to those who disagree with you is that their disagreement stems from their inferiority (e.g., that these people, some of whom are in their 40s and 50s, don’t know what a drought is). We all do that a little bit, but you do it a lot.
Nevertheless, I, too, apologize, for going off on you.
I come from a place–and in fact, a life–where, if there’s a problem, it’s usually a people problem at bottom (and I’m a people, too, and not immune to problems, and not immune to trying to ascribe my problems to outside factors). I usually look to the people side when I learn of a problem. That’s the way I see this problem. I don’t deny that there are technical aspects (meteorological, climatological, geological, hydrological, engineering, economic and financial), and I don’t deny that my understanding of those kinds of problems is limited, but to me, it still comes down to people.
And that’s based on a variety of experiences covering about half a century on this planet.
