This recall is a farce and nothing but a power grab... the recalls post the failed TA were appropriate. You don't mess up to that level without being brought to task. I won't be voting for JJ if he runs again due to his bumblings, but a recall is completely inappropriate here.
Which reps shouted down and insulted their members? I know MD got a little loud but he was not a rep. Besides, he resigned. Did every rep who was recalled shout down and insult their members or are you taking what one rep did and projecting onto every rep you disagreed with at the time?
I do agree that if a rep acted like this they should be recalled. But a wave of recalls because they all acted as you said? You thought recalls were appropriate because you didn't like TA1.
If one didn't like the TA the appropriate response was a No vote. Not numerous recalls. 38% voted No to C2012 and there were no recalls for that.
But the recall Pandora's box was opened with the Kingsley R. recall. The sweeping TA1 recalls served to make recalls normal every time someone doesn't like something. Also a mistake IMO.
And here we are.
