At the risk of understatement, your comments would seem to indicate you are unhappy with the 357 leadership and/or IBT in general. Let me ask you this:

You need a 25% showing to trigger a recall election for the 357 leadership. Are you actively garnering support for such a move? If if a recall is successful are you ready to step in and take over the leadership positions that would be vacated?

Or if the problem is with IBT, you need a 50% +1 showing to trigger a NMB representation election. Here is the starting point for that:

Again, are you taking practical steps to achieve this goal? If such a move were to be successful are you able, or willing, to step in and create the reforms you believe are in order?

I understand you are upset. I make no judgement with regard to the validity of your position. Nor do I know what practical steps you may be taking to rectify the problem as you perceive it. If you are, I applaud your courage and conviction.

But if the extent of your actions is limited to vitriolic complaints on a public and anonymous internet message board, you are doing nothing more than making an annoying noise and Buddha's assessment of your behavior would indeed be measured, thorough and concise.
