Because they rather mudsling then answer questions they know will to discredit themtheir very own posts.
As usual, you are wrong.
To "mudsling" is to accuse someone in an unjust manner. Almost every accusation was quite just and eventually supported by facts.
The initial objection was to a scab being called a "good guy". The greater objection was to the slow acknowledgment that a scab is the lowest form of life, from the west group.
Had there been a chorus of protest about giving any kind of quarter to a scab from the west, things would have been different. Even one would have been heartening.
It is from the silence that the majority speaks, and about which they object.
Our industry would be plagued with less scabs were that they could be identified by the way they walk.
