I didn't say you said it. I said your question presupposes it. Here's your post again for review:

Did you read the part that says: "If ALPA cannot deliver..." That certainly sounds like your thesis is that ALPA is

This kind of false premise is what allows our MEC to behave in their top-down manner. They DO NOT live under this contract. That is the whole point.

Part of the problem here is that you're describing the statements of fact as "vitriol". If you allow fact finding to be described that way, corruption wins.
