DEAR RAVEN
I have not seen it all, but I have seen a lot over the years including several characters like CXorsist, bullies by nature , big talkers, chest beaters and two faced back stabbers, and you know what....whilst we were walking the picket line years ago, literally having bricks thrown at us (yes full size bricks into a crowd) ....people like CXorsist after having the blowtorch applied to their lily livered yellow belly ran back to work falling over themselves to get in the early s*cab line, leaving the vast majority of us without jobs. We don't need his ill informed swipes and notions about our character make up. If he wants to get in the ring a throw punches....expect a bloody nose because I for one will fight back stooping to his level, to make his thick brain comprehend if I see the need to make the point.
He is banging on in another thread about naming and shaming crew working on G days and there is not even a motion in the wind for that and go course the GC of today would scotch that suggestion in its tracks as it is run by hard working savvy volunteers. We all understand the ramifications of G day working but until it is voted on it is just dribble to suggest naming and shaming.
Raven I agree CXorsist is a bad ad for the AOA and probably does a lot of negative press for our Association but another thing I have learnt over the journey is for every one of his ilk, there are hundreds of quality guys in our association worth rallying around and to continue to pay our dues and hold our head high that for our ENTIRE career we have been principled even thought circumstances have not always gone how we would have liked. Johhny come lately folks like CXorsist are not worthy of causing any one to leave the AOA because I doubt if he is in for the long haul anyhow!.
