I dont think Carl was attacking my manhood (was he?) but I see how that view can be taken with anyone with a yes vote in this very important TA. I have heard comments on the other side that can be viewed as arrogantly dangerous by flat out rejection of any compromise and a burn it all down mentality. Both extremes will serve no one in the long run. Carl, I do not see it as a weak position to accept this TA that will further erode any progress going forward or prime mgts objectives in the future. What is the cost to us as a group and our families by rejecting the TA and getting less. RA has a plan B and when we do go back it will not be with any gains in this TA. A risk for sure. Still listening.
