Just been calling them as I see them since I got here. Since one of the ALPA talking points is to equate DPA supporters with salesmen selling a [insert insult here], I'm interested that you call me a prolific seller. I'd like for you to find a single post of mine where I have ever advised or urged anyone to sign a DPA card. I don't believe I've ever done that one time. The only advice I've ever given here is for people to stay away from the sales pitches and pay attention to their own logical minds.

The attempt at humor doesn't really work in your sentence. Regarding the sales allegation, see above.

With regard to the sales allegation, see above. I criticized Roberts for sending the "scourge" letter because it showed an over-emotional amateur in full fledged panic mode. I said exactly that at the time, even though I didn't know then that ALPA national wrote the "scourge" letter. I defended Roberts over the recall because the process was being subverted by Moak proxies who threatened LEC members with recall unless they voted Moak's way. It's entirely consistent.

He's like a dog finally thrown a bone, and he's got to chew. It's not often that he can ride someone else's issue, and look like he actually has a legitimate point.
Your over-emotional attacks are clouding your message. Do you actually have a message?
