If there are reps who really believe that scope should be traded for cash, or, scope should "not be recaptured/tightened" for cash, or some other form of magic beans, then they should have the convictions of their beliefs and come right out and say it.

If a rep actually goes on record with this to a member, then that person has a duty to call them out on it. After all, it shouldn't be a secret if that's what they really believe...and if they believe it, they should be able to give a perfectly valid explanation, right?

I'm sure one of the Illuminati will come forth and say "well, they're not going to say that, because then people will get annoyed". Really...ya think? Well, ya, there's a good reason for that. If a lot of people get annoyed at what you say, then it's a pretty good guess that you don't represent what those people think, which means you should find another line of work, since being a representative is what you got elected to do.
