If you recall, Mr. Private Writings never admitted that his "private writings and thoughts of a personal nature" WERE the actual Anti-DPA rhetoric that mysteriously and coincidentally ended up on the DPA website. Why is that? Why the cryptic "explanation"? It's because the truth would've sounded really bad. I think you're right though, the "private writings" were the anti-DPA rant.
If this indeed was the content, then I believe that fact would be very relevant as to intent.

What potentially makes this a big deal is if this was done by an ALPA insider, i.e. an elected or appointed official. Big difference if it was just a disgruntled line pilot versus a union "leader." And the fact that ALPA attorneys have worked so hard to prevent his identity from being known says to me that it IS a high level ALPA operative. Time will tell.
