You tout recalls as if that is justification for something. So if I have it correctly, the whole of ATL LEC was recalled and the hard liners put in place. After TA2 there was a rift between the CA reps and the FO reps....I don't understand that since they were put into office for ostensibly the same reason...my how fickle times can be and how quickly views change.....or better yet maybe you can explain to me...

How in hell can Malone who was brought in to fix the debacle of TA1 and did so by bringing in arguably the best contract ever(at least by voting standards and would probably be even better today) got ousted? Can you spell FICKLE? It is truly human nature....grass is always greener

That is unfrikking believable...I attribute it to no matter how good things are, there are people who want the power and they throw out platitudes and "what if's" and armchair quarterback and use the perfect knowledge of history to point out "shoulda, woulda, coulda's. Some of the gullible eat it up.

So now..

The new "tough regime change" brings in virtual bases? If any of the old guard had done this I can only imagine the hew and cry. Plenty of people with opinions about VB but no spear chukking at the "leaders " that let it come to fruition, but plenty of **** and vinegar about the VB in general. Isn't that what you all are clamoring for ? The MEC should "protect "us, isn't that the argument..

So the old guard let us decide on TA1 and the the new "hard liners" do what? Oh, they let us decide on VB. Shouldn't they have just shut it down like you are suggesting about TA1? So what is it, can't have it both ways....unless it is all politics?

I don't know any of the players here but it seems pretty apparent that some of the "chit chat" crowd is here and alive and well....there is no middle ground, only "my way or the highway"

You all carry on...I'll resume my lurking

Cheers
