MM,
Just a few thoughts on your last post:
In an earlier post, you said "I will ignore the less couth as it merely indicates the measure of the man."
May we measure you by the same standard? In one post alone, you have referred to the pilots as "ineffective, immature, naive, idiotic and uneducated" as well as " most are too stupid".
You do neither your position, nor your argument, any favours by resorting to statements like that.
In this post you refer to our "anonymous threats", and yet in several posts you have said " Don't bite the hand that feeds. Undoubtably it will have undesired repercusions" and "P.S. Word of advice: Don't bite the hand that feeds" and "But you cannot compete with the company in the hardball arena".
You mention that "The point most don't seem to get is the reality of today's world. Big companies, mean big money, means big power, means they get their way". Does the knowledge of this unfortunate fact make it right? You say that we are " too stupid to find effective or collaborative ways to effect change". Where does that leave you, M? At least we're trying, and as Edmund Burke said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. "
Finally "No wonder you are the drivers not the managers".
Well, you may be a manager, but not necessarily a good one.
I honestly think you should try a little harder. "Raise the bar", so to speak.
SM
