Answering Critics

From the Comments:
  • So here's a question for SCC.

    You're a great straight-talker. And I love you. And I will keep loving you.

    But you have a stubborn streak that really diminishes your credibility.

    In this post, the Superintendent is clearly going to bat for the front-line officers. He's standing behind you in a big way. He's doing something you *always* ask him/ want him to do, and call him out as soon as you perceive him not doing it. And then he does it, and you ignore it.

    Admit it. Weiss is coming through for you in this instance. For whatever reason, he's coming through.
You're putting the cart before the horse. You're assuming that J-Fed is going to win this battle. Let's back up a little bit here....you're assuming that J-Fed has any input whatsoever in this entire incident.

Did you see the Captains list that just came out? Every single name on that list is politically connected in some way, shape or form. Some of the clout isn't as blatant as other's, but it's obvious that J-Fed had absolutely no say in who was promoted - how could he? He's been here a year and couldn't tell the players anyhow. Politics as usual.

In regard to the CR List, we aren't assuming J-Fed is going to win. We are personally of the opinion that he's going to lose and the list will come out in some form. So everything that comes before the "final score" is merely theater. And any attempt to gin up support for what is obviously theater is dishonest at best.

Should he win, we'll give the props to the lawyers who beat back a Federal Court's overreaching, not someone attempting to undo a year worth of damage for one incident that was going on long before he got here and something he should have been doing since Day #1 in numerous other instances.

As to the other incident you mention, wow. NBC checks our blog after the weekend, posts a two-line tidbit in a out-of-the-way corner of it's local news section, refers the entire story back to our blog posting and we're supposed to jump for joy at their coverage of "downtown wilding?" Pardon our incredulity, but you are too easily impressed. We don't check the referral log as often as you it seems. And we don't think the "grow[ing] up" needs to be done on this side of the keyboard.

UPDATE: You still think J-Fed is "clearly going to bat" for us now?

God, we hate it when we are 100% accurate.
