Albie,
This is no different than the nature of politics in the country today. Either you're for X or you're for for Y. It matters not if you are a rabble rouser or a malcontent-If you're for Y when X is the rule of the day, they will find a way to put you in a box to discredit your opinions. The box you(we) are being put in is juniority. Inherently this has a natural hint of lack of respect for those senior to us which is offensive to even those who might disagree with what is going or are neutral. The ultimate effect is that our voice is lessened because it is deemed not credible by reason of the source being suspect. Give APAAD credit, they got their issue on the table and are now successfully exploiting our natural tendencies and views on the seniority system to great effect.
