Before my latest tantrum (I need to quit having those), when I had written my "latest" post about monorails, I had seriously thought I was onto something. I really thought that my highly-critical examination of the current system would be grounds for people to take me seriously for what I was going to follow up with it and suggest. The logic was that if I could show a willingness to be super-critical of something which I am known to be super-supportive of, people would suddenly be interested in what I had to say. Ie, "why is its biggest fan all of a sudden being so critical?...there must be a good reason...I gotta hear this!" I honestly thought the logic I used in writing it made perfect sense and only an idiot would not get it, but I also understood that the wording of this logic was funny from the sound of it, liberally making jest of it, while being serious at the same time. I was totally floored by the reaction it received. At first, I thought it was isolated to just a few people who truly didn't get it, but when I saw that everyone didn't get it and it was being moved to Imagineering, that's when I just flipped - after all the hard work I put into it.
Then, I was going to edit it and remove all the humor, sarcasms, and absolutes that were in it so that the serious message behind it would be clear. I think a big problem is that I use absolutes as a device in humor. Nothing is ever absolute, so a ridiculous absolute statement is made to exaggerate what I'm trying to say in a lite-hearted humorous tone, making it entertaining to read, while also getting a point across. To my dismay device achieved neither of these things.
I said "the monorail was never designed as functional transportation system". Of course it was, but I'm exaggerating my newly-found conclusion that it was not designed as a comprehensive transportation system to serve the entire property. I even said that in the first draft in a later sentence to make that clear so that people wouldn't misinterpret the sentence that was written purposely as a humorous exaggeration of the whole point I making. Emphasis by exaggeration.
Oh, well. I still have to articulate the conclusion of all these mental notes I took during the two trips, which includes the point I didn't get across in that post. I'll do this some point in the near future when I feel inspired.

Someone please send some heat to NE Ohio.
That is weird - this is what I'm seeing! Honest!!
