I disagree. This isn't a fight that can be won on the forum by driving "the other guys" off, or outposting one another. I think people look for facts that register. This isn't one you can be super proud to vote for, or against. Independently-minded people, people that probably don't even post, are going to make the difference. I don't think they'll respond to spamming, or shaming.

Neither the ALPA sales job, the DPA counter-sales job, or the rest of the committed nos and yesses will succeed, IMO. What works best with me are sane arguments, for example Cobretti's thread for the YES side, and Sailing's logic for the NO's. Sailing is being very analytical in this, and voting NO on the money, and not hyperventilating on Scope. I can see where he's coming from. I consider the Scope improvement box to be checked with this TA, but I wonder:

1) If we're getting enough for our help and previous contributions,
2) If there really is a logical path to getting a better deal if we turn it down, and
3) How I feel about the economy, short-term, and medium-term.

These are the things that keep me in the discussion. So far, I think the answer to 1 is "no", and the answer to the other two is probably to vote for this.
