Let's not let facts get in the way of your emotions. It is apparent you will go to your grave "butt-hurt" ....I am totally fine with that.

Where do you even come up with "handing out halos" and such nonsense? Some say a good defense is a good offense....in this case ...quit digging.

A valuable lesson to be learned from that SLI arbitration 15 years ago is....Don't overreach. The results may not be what you want. True in SLI mergers, as well as contract negotiations (immediate mediator) and quite possibly strikes.

But you have all the answers...bully for you!
