If you want to discuss the issues, fine and I am willing to do that but when his childish ramblings are interjected they add nothing. You just like what he says because he's on "your side." I don't like what he says, because frankly it's juvenile the majority of the time which is why I have had him on ignore since before the wonderful banishment period that ended all too soon.
The only point to whether someone is an "insider" or not is just to show what DALPA's unofficial official position is. They won't actually come out and state any kind of objective, other than some nebulous "we want to improve at every opportunity" BS mission statement that leaves it wide open as to what we're trying to accomplish. So we get guys like alfa, for example, (who most definitely is a DALPA insider) coming on here and really providing a good window into what our MEC thinks but is smart enough to not say. So I think this insider or not stuff is relevant, at least to some degree. PD contributes plenty of issues based commentary as well.
And, yeah, I have no problem with the insiders posting here. I WANT them to post. A lot. In a sick sort of way, it's kinda fun (and sad at the same time) watching them squirm as they try to justify a lower value for our profession.
