[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1716567, member: 14176"] It really is truly sad to see what this "union" forum has been reduced to of late. When you stop to think about what the word UNION means, you'll understand what I am try to say. When I joined this site in 2007, and for years after, with many trips to moderators queue, I too acted in the manner in which Cheryl is trying to curb here. Most of my transgressions then were with members of management and UpStateNYUPSer. In the past 8 years, as I learned the TOS, one violation at a time, I also learned why these rules are in place. TieGuy once told me that "I could not see the forest for the trees", to which I told him "he could not see the trees for the forest". The world is a big place and we all see things from different perspectives. Without respect for alternate perspectives, we can easily become tyrants and subsequently disabled. These revelations were a gradual thing for me, but were recently solidified in my mind in regards to union issues, when I took notice of PiedmontSteward's signature on all his posts; coined from the late Hoffa SENIOR: [I]"As brothers, we may fight among ourselves. But we shall present a united front against any attack from the outside and we shall never[/I] [I]surrender our birthright to fight against all odds in the service of our Brotherhood." [/I]- James R. Hoffa I would like to think that I am doing better and want to thank this community, adminstrators, and it's moderators for teaching me a belated and valuable life lesson. [/QUOTE]
