Your first comment was:
Clearly from reading the article they are not.
When you didn't bother to read the article in the first place before making comments on it people are going to assume you also haven't bothered to find the information of "who the family in the photo was" on your own before asking others to find out for you.
You asked why you were receiving downvotes. I explained.
You responded that the article was not clear, I quoted relevant sections.
Don't ask questions you don't want answers to. If you don't want to interact with me you could not reply, but have chosen to do so.
It is not clear! It is implied at best and it didn't satisfied my understanding.
Edit my whole premise was that I was unclear from the article who the pictured family was. I was not satisfied that they were, or weren't the family who was unhappy. My conclusion I wanted to circle was if they WERE that family, the fact.they were drawn into the photo is another layer of egregious disrespect.
You assumed I didn't read and continue to do so, I dispelled that assumption. Asking for clarification even if you didn't read it not grounds for rudeness. Remember: someone may not have understood what they read! Which was my situation.
I don't know how it could be more clear.
And if it was so unclear then your question of "why did they agree to do this and smile?" is inappropriate because there is nothing indicating they are the family in the photo and you assumed it to be true.
