This "logical" argument is simply based off of your personal opinion of your perception of what happened.

You have every right to your opinion, and I like reading threads you're in (not a backhanded insult), but spewing this garbage about being a slave to logic is too much.
I was referring more to the logic I used in the school teachers thread, exterminate bears thread, ban dogs from Calgary thread and tax commuters from parasite communities thread.

The core of this thread doesn't have as much to do with logic IMO and I actually am finding the guys relying on logic only (ie follow the letter of the law) to be off base on this one.

As others have said, this is about common sense. My sense is telling me this guy did nothing wrong and with the VERY limited information we have, it doesn't look like the logical conclusion of this situation is going to be nuclear holocaust as some of the posters in here seem to think.
