[nabs-l] NFB/ACB

[T. Joseph Carter]

Antonio,

The only time the ACB comes up on this list is when someone starts 
asking about reunification, generally.  When it does, inevitably 
someone starts swearing up and down that Federationists don't want it 
to happen.  The thread devolves into those who have TRIED mending 
bridges insisting that they have tried, honestly and truthfully, and 
been treated so badly that they have no faith in the effort.

I'm the latest person to have tried.  If Aziza wants to try next, 
she's welcome to it.  I still believe ACB/NFB have more in common 
than they do in conflict.  Yet indoctrination and intolerance are 
rampant over there, except amongst students (usually.)
