Look just because I see things differently than you does not make me juvenile or trivializing of your site. You make this public, you get it highlighted on CNN, then you want only people who applaud you to post. Dispite my misgivings about Mr Cefalu at least he is not afraid to use his own name. He obviously does not run or hide from criticism. Your refusal to let your audience even hear a contrary view undercuts even further the credibility of this site. I am as informed as others from the public who have posted here, I just have a different take so instead of a "thank you" I get censored. You should have a new rule that contrary views are not tolerated. Even if you think I am an idiot (which you clearly do) what's so dangerous about someone suggesting you guys don't sound any better than your bosses. Was I a bit harsh? Sure, but harsh words towards people you don't like seem to be tolerated just fine. Show some courage and let others see my original post.
I saw your oringinal post. you have to take some sort of valid stance in order to be refuted or challenged. All I saw was baseless trolling type comments not atypical to any online forum. You are not unique, you are not some beautiful snow flake.

JUSTAJOE, I don't think anybody ever took the time to say "Thank you". So, Thank You. This sight is not reserved for or the sole property of Agents. There are inspectors, Clerical staff, FFLs and just average citizens who have a vested interest in seeing transparency and integrity restoed to ATF.
Doc, in actuality, people like me should be thanking people lke you. Like what Cefalu says: "I've stood up to bullies all my life." Anyone who has ever worked in a hostile, petty and demeaning work environment will know where I am coming from. Just because it is a premier federal agency does not make a difference.
Anytime someone makes a stand against this sort of double standard, they are standing up for me too.

I noticed you omitted the part where DD Melson openly acknowledged he did not have all the facts and is making significant policy changes that will positively affect the Bureau and those we serve. Do you think he did that because no problems were highlighted on this website and on CNN? Seriously? You saw a few edited minutes. So get informed and come back.

I am just a joe too, but my comments were deleted. Just remember censorship is cowardly no matter who does it. So what gives? Only people who agree with you can post?JUSTAJOE, I don't think anybody ever took the time to say "Thank you". So, Thank You. This sight is not reserved for or the sole property of Agents.

From my perspective, management certainly has! The RAC against whom I filed 7 complaints has several first cousins on the job and their grandfather was a notorious ass kisser back in the Prohibition days. "Legacies" are not limited to Ivy League schools, for sure!Looks like ATF hasn't changed much since Pocket Books published my book, "Very Special Agents" back in 1997, or when the Univ of Illinois republished it in 2001. Did management from those days bequeath the Bureau to their favored heirs?
