I asked a simple question about your previous positions on an issue (so that I may compare it to your present day positions).
You respond with hysterical indignation. It seems something is making you a little uncomfortable...or perhaps you are trying to distract the readers from something? Was there a question you didn't answer? I don't recall seeing your answer about contributions?
Pssst...I don't want to burst your bubble but you're not on a stage. Neither am I. We're on an anonymous web board.
I do somewhat agree with you about what is important (I actually am not 100% convinced that maintaining the union as an ongoing entity is an important goal in and of itself - the union is after all a means to an end). On the other hand, if you think posting here is a contribution to what is important, you're deluding yourself. You're posting on an anonymous web board. Virtually nothing positive comes from these boards. On their best day they are a waste of valuable time.
The reason I post rarely (43 now!) is because I don't want to get into any discussion that never ends. So why do I post at all? Not because of some secret political allies. Sometimes I feel that your little clique of APC junkies is doing is exactly what people accuse the DAL MEC of doing: Group think. I think you guys need someone to challenge you on your mutual reinforcement of whispers, rumors and paranoid speculation. That's the only time I post (think about the moniker). Otherwise, I read this site once or twice a month because I think it's a depressing and pointless time suck. My low post count is a source of pride to me as your seemingly endless musings are a source of comfort to you.
I have no office.
What office is held by the people pulling your string?
I bolded you comment. To let you know there are MANY lurkers (observers) here. This is an excellent source of unfiltered information which affects us.
And two honest questions for "hornetsnest".
1. Are you claiming you do not work for, nor are you associated with the DAL MEC in any way, shape, or form, other than you are a simple member?
2. Do you receive FPL for union work?
Inquiring minds want to know.
