Great meeting, actually.

Somewhat revisionist if you ask me ... considering some folks at HQ were not happy .... with the meeting ... nor did the Supt. like the fact that it was advertised as it was ...

Now, don't go confusing them with facts.

I don't take it personal most of the time. Just when I am gang tackled with the intent being to discredit and marginalize my very presence.

I ain't seen that happen. Except for that one time you were having a bad day and were being hyper-sensitive.

SInce when does that make any difference whatsoever? Who said they had to be happy with every meeting someone has? I don't remember the men who hosted the meeting asking for organizational endorsement.

I gotta be honest with ya. I think the organization should have been having those kinds of meetings years ago. It would need to have a more balanced approach, IMO. But we have long needed a venue to discuss issues without rhetoric or attitudes.

Not so sure about your facts there, Daniel... I saw some officials there!

I know things about the players and intent of that meeting that I cannot post. Needless to say the "higher powers" were more than a little miffed over that whole thing.

Belive it or not I do know why he attended. I know the concerns he had as we spoke a few days prior to the meeting. I agreed with his concerns then and I still agree with them now. That being said, those guys still had a right to hold a meeting and to discuss what they did. And it did indeed cover much more than the television issue.

So it wasn't as balanced as Stead said it was??

Cmon ... I know what went down there ... A WITCH HUNT.

Did they hand out sign up sheets for AFF?
