Divorced of context, I 100% agree. However, I don't think you've engaged with my point. There are settings in which it is simply NOT ok for children to be playing and screaming, full stop. "but what about-" No, you've changed the setting and now we're not talking about the same thing anymore.

EDIT to include the comment I'm replying to:

Libraries have sections for kids man. Most people adhere to it. You (Royal you) can’t let theoreticals/rare cases inform your feelings on these issues.

But who ever said kids should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want?

You did. Not directly of course, but a reader can easily tell that this is your opinion based on your interactions with me and others here in this thread.

Either that or you don't want to be held accountable for the actions of your children.

EDIT to include the entire comment I'm replying to:

But who ever said kids should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want? This feels a bit strawman to me. No one is advocating for that, certainly not me.

Kids are going to be on your public transit, your airplanes, on sidewalks, at pizza shops, etc. and people need to not just accept but embrace them. They are a part of your community, just like any other person. If being an inconvenience or annoying was an acceptable reason for people to reject you, then we’d have a lot bigger issues (than we already have) with the elderly, people with autism, people in wheel chairs, etc. No one gets mad when the bus takes an extra bit of time to help someone with a disability get settled. Yes an infant may cry or scream in public. They do that.

Well apparently it’s not that easy to tell because that is not what I believe at all. So are you going to actually ask me what I think are you going to keep smugly telling me what my opinions are as a parent?

Actually don’t bother responding unless the last word is that important to you. You clearly have an ax to grind and you’re being an asshole. Have a good one.

I genuinely laughed at this. Countdown until the above is deleted by creator? This comment exists to preserve yours.

If you don’t routinely overwrite and delete your comments online after what we saw on Reddit that’s kind of wild, but that’s also your prerogative. Either way it’s irrelevant and not the “own” you think it is.

Bye now 👋

Except this is not what you've been doing here. You've been getting owned, mostly self-inflicted, and you've been deleting your comments in an attempt to hide the evidence. I am calling you out on your bullshit, an activity that entertains me to no end.

The best way for you to save face now is to take your own advice. "don’t bother responding unless the last word is that important to you"
