Because I called someone out when they insinuate their status is elevated due to their 15 years of ALPA service? Or better yet, if one has a grievance, their only option is to volunteer within the union structure to be heard. No wait, it must have been when I responded to an abrasive comment trying to get me to respond to an ALPA call to action. Never was it asked if I'd already undertaken that action. When all else fails, the smear always seems a winning combination resulting from his assumptions.

I respect those who step up and volunteer and realize many positions are very time consuming. The strange thing during all the conversations I've had with those I hold in high regard, conversations where we've agreed and disagreed, not once did they say, "well I've been doing this for X years, you?" or "tough, if you don't like it your only option is to volunteer".

Was the bell ringer salute gif over the top? Maybe, and for that I apologize.
