We are saying the ones who plan to send their kids back this summer are certifiable. [/quote]

This comment referred families asking for sympathy - so the families from last summer: 
“And then those families ask for sympathy over foolhardy risk taking decisions.”

[/quote]

No, the comment was referring to those choosing to return. Read the two preceding comments. No one is faulting families for the 2025 tragedy. They are faulting the lax Kerr Co safety precautions for an area known to flood and the minimal safety plans and means of communication by Camp Mystic's leaders. [/quote]

Where are those families asking for sympathy from you?[/quote]

The posters arguing in favor of the camp opening. [/quote]

So -  not the families of returning campers? People saying don't judge have you flipping out?[/quote]

Who is flipping out? Most of us (other than you) are in agreement that the camp should never reopen and those wanting to return are nuts.[/quote]

That's fine but getting hysterical about it calling people names and saying (erroneously) that someone is demanding your sympathy seems like an overreaction.[/quote]

You exaggerate and misinterpret, then run with your feelings. No one said 'demanding sympathy," and no one is hysterical. [/quote]

Again, nobody asked for your sympathy. More kids in your own zip code will die in backyard pools or from not wearing a bike helmet this summer than some random girls in a freak 100 yr flood. Yet not much concern for the very real threat closer to home.[/quote]

Again, and we’ve told you this several times: This is an anonymous DC-based discussion forum. We discuss what we like here, particularly on the Off-Topic forum. You don’t get to decide what we discuss, just because you don’t like it. If we want to discuss our thoughts about the parents trying to send their kids back to Camp Mystic or the camp leaders, we will. And we will do it any manner we please. [/quote]

And we are free to tell you that you’re a judgmental busybody who should leave these poor families alone FFS.

[/quote]

We aren't bothering them. It's an internet forum. No one is forcing you to read our posts. It was and is a a national story with ongoing updates that we will continue to discuss. [/quote]

And we will continue to call out your grotesque comments trashing the families. 
[/quote]

Anyone that would trust the Eastlands with the care of their child, knowing what they know now, is severely lacking in critical thinking skills. [/quote]

You know they don’t know you from a hole in the wall or care about what you think, right?[/quote]

You seem to care a lot about what other people think and are trying to control the opinions and comments of posters you don't know. FWIW, I have a lot of family member and friends in Texas and don't care what you think about our opinions of what occurred at Camp Mystic. [/quote]

“Control the opinions” ha it seems like you can’t handle a conversation. People in Texas aren’t sweating this nearly as much as you. [/quote]

You are finally getting it! Those families “not sweating” the glaring deficiencies of this camp are exactly what we are here discussing. I’m glad we could clear that up.[/quote]

You can discuss and some of us can recognize it has nothing to do with anything. It effects those families and nobody else.[/quote]

If it has nothing to do with anything, what are you doing here? I'd make other summer arrangements if I were you - I don't think your current plan is going to be available. [/quote]

Oh, no need to worry about my kids on top of these 800 you are obseseed with. We go to a camp in a completely unrelated state. What happens or doesn’t happen at Mystic has absolutely no bearing on anyone else. Is your niece going to this camp?[/quote]

Lady, if you think anyone on this thread would allow someone they love to attend this camp, you are dumber than I thought. [/quote]

You control what your niece does? That's weird. Are you in control of whether she wears a helmet when she bikes? How many micro-plastics she ingests on a regular basis?[/quote]
