    So your complaint is that the stated purpose of the trip is not actually the purpose of the trip. I can’t disprove your conspiracy theory, but you’re effectively agreeing with me that the outrage is misplaced.

      If an on-call senior systems administrator has plans, but a server goes down, do they continue on with their plans? Or go work on it?

      Governor is a job title. You place yourself where your priorities are. There is no conspiracy in that.

        I agree that he should stay, but the ever shifting justification for the outrage, without any admission that the previous explanations were contrived, just kind of proves my point that this isn’t about being reasonable, but outraged.

          I haven’t been on that ride with you. It’s been about priorities for me since my first comment (for this particular episode, of which there are many).
