Why should we Free BSD?
Why don't you post up a link to the whole thread to give folks some context?
IIRC you were making some very strange and cryptic posts with some accusations that you never did back up.
I get it, you don't like the PP, whether it's the idea, it's members, or whatever. Go do your own thing, just do something.
This is not the direction that the OP intended this thread and to him I apologize and will keep any further comments on topic.
Why should I post anything other than what you asked for? You asked me to expand on it, so I did with 2 specific instances. I'll throw a monkey wrench into this, even though there was a massive clean up and I didn't get the screen caps in time.

I never was cryptic in the post deleting thread, I spoke clearly, while others were deflecting in an attempt to muddy the water.
Now you are accusing me of something that I never said. I never said, nor acted like I didn't like/approve of the mission of the PP. You said that, not me. Your assumptions are far off base, but when the lenses blind you from seeing a dissenting opinion, you view it as an attack or that somebody doesn't like/approve of the picket.
My issue arises with individuals that speak on behalf of the picket, that are in leadership roles of the organization, that belittle, antagonize, divide, bully, and mistreat those that would have been willing to help, but in fact were shunned, due the actions of the few. You complain that people need to step up and do their part, but when there is a lack of understanding on why they will not attend rallies, but will do something else, they are treated like they are not worthy of anything but the fury of not doing anything.
The PP will wither on the vine if the leadership doesn't change their ways on how they recruit and maintain the membership. I would attend something if my work schedule would permit it, but the work week for me is chaotic at best, so I can't attend any of the Mon-Fri events. The weekends are another story entirely, but short notice on my end can't be done, due to the fact that time with Little DA takes priority over a lot of things. If there was plenty of advance notice, that would be a different story.
But then again, by what I have stated about my work schedule and my days off, make me unworthy of any kind of acceptance from the leadership of the picket, because I can't physically be there at some/all events, yet I am willing to write/call my reps in the statehouse, which I in fact did, but it doesn't matter, because I've never attended an event.
Your control issues with telling me to go do my own thing/do something is another attempt to deflect away from the issues that the leadership has created of the "Either you are part of us, or you are against us." mentality, that will push people away. If you can't change the way you treat us on here, who are your friends and supporters in MD, what makes the organization think they will be able to grow beyond where it is right now? The problem now is one of diplomacy with your friends and fellow members on MDS. We are the ones that see how others are being treated and evaluate whether or not we want to be associated with an organization that acts in that manner to the public.
