You won't get yelled at here b/c, unlike the Giants board, most here are intelligent. We understand the concept of "contributory negligence". In Maryland, just as in Florida, a party cannot prevail in any civil suit if their own negligence contributed in
any way to the accident. It's not wacky, it's an age-old concept in law.
