I hear you loud and clear Dave.
When the members had some say in the ATA rag that is now being "published", there was room for open dialogue. Now whenever anyone speaks up on an issue, even on this board, this rag rips those a new sphincter. I was on the verge of being banned here recently for using the word NAZI in describing a situation. Fortunately, for me, the interpretation of what I said was looked at again and I was reinstated. The jist of my comment was do do with "freedom to speech" and what happened prior to WWII.
I'm not here to write a book but those who have been with the ATA for the past 20 years, KNOW of what they speak and the paths that had been taken.
Enjoy your time away, Dave and hopefully return with renewed interest and don't let this/them beat you down.
You have the support of all those who have been able to read between the lines and not been afaid to speak up. Maybe there will be more showing up
