I know that many of us will never see eye to eye on SLI, ALPA, company, contract, and everything in between. So I do apologize to those who I have directly insulted, and for some of the harsh responses I have posted. As my opinions may never change as I am sure some of yours won't, I wish ya'll all the best in your careers. And hopefully someday our paths will cross under different circumstances, until then, good luck and may 2014 be a good year in our crazy industry.

I agree that its best for you to leave if you're convinced that your opinions will never change. However, if you drop the shields a bit and absorb a little of the contrary opinions you may even be able to engage in a productive manner to sway others - even if only a little...with a long delay...
PS. We shouldn't blame the forum/media for our own behavior.
