It seems that certain advocates of dissention function better in an informational vacuum...

Asking questions and keeping people accountable is not dissent. Criticism is not dissent. In a truly democratic organization these should be valued, not suppressed.

Don't guess you ever played any poker?

@Nelson, what’s up with the new blocked text? I’m not buying the-- “It’s the computer argument”! Megalomania, condensation, and childish games of deception are not virtues! Perhaps, it's the attention you long for!?

This snide and unnecessary thrust at Tim is I think a pretty good example of the same bullsh*t politics you claim to hate. That said, Tim seems to have no concern for how he propagates his messages. I skip over his longer posts. His website is so bad it would have been ugly in 1995.

Another thing I learned years ago about the enemy is… “Never telegraph your intentions”…
It’s a real simple philosophy that is applicable in every application from American Business to Street Fighting. In case you haven’t noticed… this is an open forum that can be viewed by anyone. It’s called “telegraphing” when you convey your intentions.

If I remember correctly… you were one of those that refused to verify that they were in fact an IAM member.

I'm sorry, is this forum hosted and maintained by the IAM?

Now I know I pay my dues, whether or not you wish to believe it is irrelevant to the material realities of my life. I will write what I want where I want because it's my prerogative. I enjoy doing so, but what's the worst that can happen? The IAM deliver up for vote another job-killing sh*t sandwich for a vote?

Edit: And if you're so for transparency, why do you browse these forums as an 'anonymous user'?

So… you acknowledge that it’s an “open” forum that can be viewed by the general public?
Brilliant!

For the same reason YOU browse the forums as an anonymous poster!

Brilliant!

And what exactly is so sensitive about what we discuss here?
