Re: First ATA agency breaks ranks
So, you've gone from saying "some of the writers" I cited to saying "one of the people." And you don't identify this person. Okay.
Are the accusations of conspiracies you speak of actually online? Can you provide actual quotes? It's not very hard, I was able to do it.
No. I don't automatically assume that this action is hurting minority writers. However:
a) The people I cited didn't just speak on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of other writers of color they say they have spoken to. How many writers of color have you spoken to directly/heard from directly regarding the state of staffing?
b) I have not seen this "plenty of evidence to the contrary" that you speak of with regard to staffing, because you have not provided any.
c) I have seen no evidence that the people I cited "would say literally anything to bring this action to an end."
d) You keep insinuating that the people I quoted may have mental issues. Again, you are acting like an armchair psychologist, which strongly smacks of arrogance on your part. Are we supposed to just take your word for it, doctor?
e) I've noticed that you keep jumping in to comment whenever someone questions the WGA's actions, which strongly suggests that you have a strong bias on your part. Which would frankly, affect the "clarity" of your thinking.
I am a staunch supporter of the WGA's action. But I also don't believe in blind worship of any leadership. As I've said before, I do think that the only real way to gauge how it is affecting minority writers is through an objective assessment of staffing numbers.
