did not take it serious

On the Observing Pad, I drew Manuel G aside. I said that there had been a problem the night before with all the light infractions. I tried to explain that all the visual observers did not like the car lights going on repeatedly. It also might have affected some of the astrophotographers. He laughed. He tried to playfully joust with me. He tried to hug me. That upset me. He was making light of it (no pun intended). His reaction did not seem respectful. I was trying to make a serious complaint and explain a rule of the CAO but he was dismissive. That left a very bad taste in my mouth.
