Listen, you are defending a contract that most pilots feel overwhelmingly overflowed the companies shopping cart while leaving them with a pack of gum.
If you are now or have worked within the inside group of our union that is cozy with management, you never have to worry about being targeted by management. Your reputation with your peers obviously means nothing to you. Regular line guys do care and aren't going to management birthday parties. They aren't interested in meeting you so you can nark to your management buddies, pointing as you peak around their shoulder. The same goes for SF, Slowplay, etc. You guys feel invincible with your special management relationships (and hope to someday become management). Of course some people do know you from your work within ALPA under your real name. Your willingness to defend TA2015 taints that name. It will be one of the most epic failures (whether it passes or not) in union history. Your reputation, along with those identified as selling it, will be cast in the same stone.
With that said, I believe a basic rule has been established, that if you post inaccurate or misleading information (misleading includes omitting important details that give a full understanding of good and bad), you should be banned.
If you refuse to include detail point by point of what you are defending, you should be banned. If you continue to incorrectly paraphrase and spin for perception or to create confusion through doubt, then you should be banned. PS- emphatically stating something with condescension does not make it so.
