So JR. in your position as AMA EC and associates' public relations spokesman, you are warning that the EC will now punish those that rose up against the EC's sacred business methods (Chinese Fire-Drills) and thus preserve the EC's holy position of the all-knowing Big Brother.
The AMA EC frequently makes rules/decisions and then has to go back and revise or eliminate those rules/decisions. That is nothing new. (Reference some years ago, the member/member insurance fiasco, the combat thing, and others too much to review here.)
What was new about the JPO was that the EC passed something and then ONE person is unhappy and that ONE person applies pressure to get a quick Hold on the passed subject, NOT just a later review, and the entire remaining members of the EC succumb to that pressure. Not one has the intestinal fortitude to stand up and be counted as one that is satisfied with his original decision.
This is adequate proof to me that my position all along for years is correct: Dave Brown runs the EC with an iron hand and any significant decision forthcoming is just what he wants.

Couple this with the fact that Headquarters now does as they please with whatever they want, and the EC is now simply a name. As Mark Twain spoke about the American justice system, Americans and the English, the efficiency is "....marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who doesn't know anything and can't read." IMO, I suppose the AMA membership has found the perfect jury.

OTOH, the AMA's entire management system has exactly what they have worked for every since even before the Safety Code and that is to have a membership that has no clue to how AMA operates, let alone how AMA SHOULD operate. Regardless of how much they screw the memberships there will always be enough pimps bellowing how well AMA does, to get the vote (so few doing the job of many) to allow the status-quo to remain in force.

So actually who found who? The membership found the perfect jury, OR the JURY has found the perfect membership????
