If I were so "establishment", I'd be all over it.
Why fight freedom of thought? Why not move on (you know the scroll bar on the side) until the thread changes back to whatever it is you think is worthy of the L&G thread.

Smear is exactly what you are doing. Trying to label someone and put them in a nice little corner, discredit them, they sell, grownup, semi-professional etc... I express my opinion just as you do. I'm not making sure that anything continues under L&G. The moderators will decide. You are not the moderator. It just bothers me when people whine to the moderators because you feel people shouldn't have the right to post about that topic. BTW, you were the person talking about DPA. I objected to your whining and your request the mods restrict and remove previous posts, just because you disagree with them. All you do is fuel the DPA fire doing such things.

I really don't care where or who you pray to, just don't advocate restricting the free flow of info on this forum. That already happens on the one our dues fund. As to smearing...an insider is a far cry from being called semi-professional. That is an attack on an individual meant to discredit. Going after the individual rather than the ideas are hallmarks of defeating a movement. Yes I think you are an ALPA insider. That's not a smear...it is connecting the dots and says nothing as to your personal worth, only your allegiance.
