I did not reply since you say nothing of substance. A copy and paste of a definition, two paragraphs of meaningless personal issues and an expressed narrow view of a term really did not inspire me to comment. Your former life as a paramedic really does not impress me. As one who served as a combat medic and was retired on active duty for injuries sustained in the line of duty, I am not impressed with your exploits, especially since they are used justify certain points of contention.

My view stands, as you have configured the meaning of foamer to suit your needs much like a news report does when reporting on an issue. Of course you did state that this is what true railroaders consider to be a foamer, but those that you appear to associate with are less than credible since 90% constantly complain about there jobs and any fan that they encounter.

As a closing thought, you are not really worth the time to argue with. You lack the ability to see beyond the box that is your life.
