Love your post, but you're just giving yourself hand cramps typing. The majority of members just don't give a damnn. DW and his henchmen, particularly the Propaganda Minister WR, are well on the way to getting the Big Mustache on to National office. Heck, he even made the cover of the toilet reader. If anyone read DW's comments, you would have read that sometimes you just have to go against the members' wishes and do what you know to be right.
I've done the volunteer thing for the Union and won big for the membership in the past. None of that matters if you don't support DW and his grand plans. Step out of what he perceives to be the line and you're done. Happened to me, happened to others I know and, apparently, has happened to FE.
Like the Iraqi people, our membership would rather have a dictator than a true representative government. Couple of big parades, hand out some free bread and 68% of you vote for a POS LOA. Divide and conquer, create confusion and set the group against itself. His 'vision' certainly hasn't unified this crewforce and has now cost us the NC Chair.
Lay low, bide your time and hope that when he moves on to Herndon, we've elected enough new blood to boot his cronies out.
