Umm, James, it cuts both ways.

Others can assert their interpretation, and quite frankly, yours is the
odd one out. Everybody else agrees oevrwhelmingly that "staging" is about
ugly and not-up-to-snuff drivers.

So you can talk about your 'right' to interpret things all you want, but
what's the point? If others haev the same right (which presumably even you
agree they do), then if people think a driver is ugly and needs to be in
staging, what makes _your_ right so special?

As mentioned earlier, I don't personally care about this driver, but I do
care about your behavior. You can't just ignore other people if they say
that a driver is too damn ugly.
