[Nfb-editors] Blacklisting

[Mike Freeman]

Joe:

IMO you are engaging in pure sophistry here.

First, if something has not been declared NFB policy, no one would criticize
you for saying what you will against it (or for it, for that matter) since,
as you indicate, you wouldn't know what NFB policy was.  You have many
talents but insofar as I am aware, clairvoyance is not one of them. (big
grin)

Moreover, why *should* we mention a former president who did not serve a
full term and who resigned due to his less-than-sterling conduct?

But we're straying far from the purpose of this list and you will never
accept my reasoning.

Peace!

Mike

Mike,

You give two possible offenses but do not deny that blacklisting exists,
only that this is far from blacklisting in your opinion.  I have publically
criticized NFB policies in the past.  Should I be aware of something before
I decide to join up again, because to be fair and candid, I really don't
plan to wait for a national convention to express my opinions on policies.
What, pray tell, is the punishment for public disagreement?  And, while I am
not so immature as to outline very concrete and specific examples of
blacklisting on the list, I am curious as to why when we list our NFB
presidents we conveniently forget to often include Ralph Sanders?  I respect
you, Mike, but don't insult my intelligence with utter nonsense of your own.

Joe
