It's funny how several people posting in this forum are somehow the voices for the 160,000 or so registered FlyerTalkers.
Maybe, maybe not... but those are the viewpoints you're getting and you've already made it quite clear in this thread that you don't care about member input. If you won't even listen to this group of members, how do you presume to know what the other 160,000 want? If you don't know what the other 160,000 want, and you refuse to listen to the members who do give their opinion, then exactly what do you base your votes on?
Part of being on an advisory board is to make recommendations that not only reflect the wishes of those who elected me to serve, but also that make good sense for business or entity that is receiving the advising. I'm not sure how that translates into being Randy's voice on the TalkBoard, but I'm maybe I'm just not thinking the same way you do.
Now you're backpedaling. Earlier in this thread you said that you would not advise
Randy to change a decision in spite of the wishes of the
members you are representing unless it was a "colossal blunder". Now we've gone from "colossal blunder" to you "reflecting the wishes of those who elected [you]" and "mak[ing] good sense for business".
So which is it? Are you willing to consider member input? Or are you just going to steadfastly support
Randy's position regardless of member opinions?
In any event, as to "defending my position" come possible re-election time, is this yet another "I didn't get my way so I'm not going to vote for you so there!" (and there goes Teddy again) post or are you making a cryptic offer to be my campaign manager, should I choose to seek re-election?
Neither... I'm simply stating that other Flyertalkers
may feel differently come election time if they realize that a certain TB member doesn't care to consider the input of the
members who elected him.
