First, I don't recall Timbo assaulting your "manhood." Second, the fact that you bring it up is interesting. Seems as though a career of never voting against anything is making you a bit oversensitive. Your posts have always appeared to me as someone who was a top graduate of the rocking chair process. Just sayin.

In other words, we have to keep management from walking away from the table at all costs. Even if it means accepting the first offer from management prior to Section 6 even beginning, and fully funding any gain with concessions in other areas.
These are the kind of statements that certainly make me question whether you have any resolve at all...other than doing what you're told to do. The phrase "growing a pair" comes to mind, but I'm reminded of a female friend who says we've got to start replacing that phrase with "growing a vagina". After all, "those things take a pounding."
