That's more likely since cameras are not allowed in that court. I asked
:)

Nothing feeds the trolls and critics more than giving them exactly what

No, it's real. The victim lurks and occasionally posts to RMR. He's
confirmed being attacked at an LDRS "board meeting" by Dick Embry. I've
spoken first hand to at least one witness who has the incident on tape.

I'd like to see the video.  Can he post it on AMBR?  Anyone that would
do that has to be a major (or is that Lt. Col.) AH.

I can think of a couple folks who could get that kind of reaction out of almost

Nobody "deserves" to be on the receiving end of such behavior.

So much so, now the government has instituted an anti-bully program. I
wonder if it will be enforced zero-tolerance as a means to increase
employment of program leaders?

Zero Tolerance is liberal teacher speak for zero initiative.  You
don't have to figure out who was right and who was wrong, they all
are guilty.  Try teaching a kid to stand up for himself in today's
environment.  The bully doesn't care because he's a dead-end loser
anyway and bad attention is better than no attention.  The kid
trying to defend himself get's labeled as a bad kid, potentially
including alternative schools.

Jerry would like zero tolerance because then he could finally win an
argument.

Izzy would like zero tolerance because he could quote the rulebook.

nope

I previously acknowledged that all three of my kids are 18 months away
from their Black Belts in Shotokan Karate (they are all now Brown II)

those who have the ability and confidence rarely find themselves in
fights, except perhaps in defense of others

not unlike those acting in defense of rocketry against the TRA
corruption and their agenda of market dominance and regulatory surrogacy?

Ray - I you were smart, you would have popped him where there were no
witnesses.  Then you could deny it.

I'm not saying I would even do such a thing,  Just an observation.

so if a Director of TRA who, while processing election returns adds 12
votes to his tally to insure his retaining his BoD position, has no one
around to witness it, it isn't wrong (because he can simply "deny" it)?

but then again, maybe there was witness after all  ;)

You are bordering on, if not already stating, libelous slander. In
addition, you may have lost any remaining respect you may have
retained, but I doubt you care..

your assertions are false

the more pertinent question is, what should be done about it?  Or are
you among those that think past sins should be left in the past, and
people who committed them should continue be entrusted with positions in
leadership or influence?

what I "care" about, Fred, is that the truth is made available and the
corruption is excised so we can get on with the business of rocketry
advocacy.  I take for granted that everyone learning the truth would be
motivated according to their disposition

as would Gregg D. Renkes, Attorney General for the State of Alaska

how many examples of "abuse of authority" do you think would take to
cross that threshold?

Who made you the so call savior of rocketry? You are like a loud
voice in a crowd, it's heard, but most of the time you don't remember
what was said and after wail no one cares anymore, there is just to
much noise.

I'm sure you have a number in mind. However, I suggest you quit
banging on the hornets nest, you might not like the end result.

It never will, the thrill would be gone for you. You will milk this

"Fists bared" is a normal condition of all humans in an indoor situation.

"Had to be restrained" is a subjective appraisal of the situation.  Nobody
knows the outcome of the events if he hadn't been restrained.

next?

I've heard from someone that does. And was threatened if he ever showed it
to any one or made copies. Contact me privately and I'll give you the name
if you need to subpoena it.

this, despite the injunction in the By Laws!  And a BoD member should be
setting a good example!
