But you're welcome to apologize for suggesting that listening to headphones means you aren't paying attention to your surroundings.
You're putting words in his mouth.
You do have a tendency to dismiss other people's experiences when they don't align with your own. It's not compelling rhetoric and it's not conducive to discourse or debate.
That's your opinion about my faults, and it may even be true. But Leaving aside the fact I think it's ridiculous to prefer walking on Victoria St to a less car oriented road for a moment.
I feel that the statement
"When I walk, I don't have music in my ears disconecting me from the souroundings, I walk with attention to the traffic, vehicles, other pedestrians, and often cyclists who too cause concern. "
Strongly implied that they felt that those listening to headphones as I do are not paying sufficient attention to things like traffic. If something else was mean, I am more than happy to apologize for my misinterpretation once I am corrected.
