Ok, but we keep coming back to the double standard thing.
When Nos attacks someone and says "you are part of a group," he is attacking the whole group, not just the directed individual. And his assertions are patently false to boot, unlike convicted Joe. So wrong is wrong no matter where you stand.
It's hard to insult an individual when the premise of your insult is that by association to a group, you are guilty. Maybe your sensibilities are more fragile than you claim. I never threw a pedophile comment in your direction. I think if taken in the context of Nos' jabs, it is quite clear that my assertion was directly aimed at him. Sorry if you took offense. But what I said to Nos was factually accurate. USAPA protects a person convicted of the said crime. (As they should.) That makes anyone in the union part of the same group. It's an absurd premise to walk away thinking it means anyone else is also a pedophile. Hence the accurate illustration of how absurd his assertions are, even if they were true. (Which they are not.)
So to summarize, I don't think anyone but Joe is a pedophile. I am using an absurd example to teach a lesson to a bully.
Perhaps if you guys on the east would learn to reign in your own troublemakers, you'd have less problems in the future. Many of your past problems have been the result of union leaders (East pilots) run amuck. Nos is just one example of a bad apple spoiling the bunch.
