I didn't say that.

So at what level do you believe it becomes worthy of recognition?????

Should we set a sliding scale?

How about if it only affects less than a thousand then they can just go a whistle.

1000-5000 we listen sympathetically

over 5000 we'll become outraged.

Yes, that's fair.

No-one said it's fair. It is the way of the world though. Any decision is bound to impact on others, and there will always be a tradeoff between people's interests. Number of people affected will feed into that tradeoff.
