Like Kele at Maywood?

We are developing standards of conduct for associates and that will guide us at events, but self defense will be among them. I wasn't there, and so I can't really defend or criticize, but the old regime didn't provide policies and procedures, so you end up with a lot of individual reactions in the field. Looks like he bounced back quite well, or have you noticed some permanent changes in his behavoir? Other than keeping a safe distance during his provocations?

Naui is a ass and deserved what he got. What do you think he wants to do to us? And given the chance his henchmen would do damage. As for Naui himself, he's a wuss.

Self-defense is fine. You do what you have to do to protect yourself. If you think Naui has "bounced back" maybe it's because he's had over a year to do it. All I'm saying is that I feel all the celebration over the pepper spraying has been inappropriate and excessive.

What celebration? And I wasn't invited? Geesh, I hate that. Always left out of a celebration.:cool:

I'll tell you what celebration. The contest where everyone tried to come up with the cleverest product slogan for the pepper spraying, which was a thread that went on for about 10 pages. Yes, it was all very cute and creative, and also very sick. Now I knew I was going to ruffle a few feathers when I started this topic, but I think I've made my point. We'll just have to agree to disagree about this.

Was this contest at the old board?

I'm done.

Me too. Stick a fork in it.;)

OK Phil, I'll take the heat off you by becoming the pariah. Now that we're having Naui confessionals ...

I'll agree with the excessive part. The endless joy his physical suffering has produced still amazes me. Naui's just uneducated and resentful. There are more unforgivable characters running around out there whom we encounter.

If people would stop voluntarily performing for his camera when he and his Left-of-Patty Hearst associates arrive, he'd have no reason to show up. We have no one to blame but ourselves for his continued presence. He arrives and people respond like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs. They can't wait to start spouting off, blocking his camera and behaving like minor league bullies. It's always the same show, too. Some bitter sounding, angry, marginally educated types trying to intimidate him and prevent him from simply shooting film in a public place.

And you know what, he accomplishes his goal. In fact, he's gotten better at it since I first encountered him in '06. Naui gives us the opportunity to look like sh-- in his videos, and that's what we do. A pack of dumb, poorly informed, angry rednecks; that's the image he wants to shoot and make public. He commonly gets what he's looking for, too. We provide him with images anyone who wants to search on the internet can find.

Look at what he just filmed and posted. A Birther spouting off some idiocy about Kenya, Indonesia and another guy, almost twice Naui's size with a stupid grin on his face, attempting to block his camera with a U.S. flag.

It's a big, royal embarrassment for us - every time.

And I'm really growing tired of it because it is entirely something over which we have control.
