Evidently disagreeing with a group, asking for ideas to compromise and agreeing to disagree means one "has issues".

In the end, I persevered, though. Because excluding people is never a good idea.

Maybe this committee I'm on at work pushes the buttons of high school where I was often excluded. Or perhaps there are too many strata of employees of who reports to who. I just think if we are doing something nice, we should do it for everybody or nobody.

Seems simple to me. Evidently, though, not to everyone else. Or perhaps everyone else can't step back and see the larger picture. I do believe a lot of people are incredibly short-sighted.
They can only see what is in their own little bubble. Their kids, their home, their school or work or neighborhood. Much outside of that, they really don't care.

And that, my friends, is what, in part, has gotten our environment and country and world the way it is today.

Plus, people don't pay attention to much of anything around them when they are driving, and that just plain pisses me off.
