Personally, I am acquainted with a number of such individuals  
firsthand.  Direct, concrete, and entirely infuriating case histories  
- decidedly not 'blank criticism.'  Occasionally, there are posts to  
even this list (a list not so often hospitable to such posts ...) from  
those who tried, and put in years, and found that - though they  
followed all the rules - staff decisions overruled when it mattered.

Whether they choose to speak now and post here will be their choice.   
I leave that to them.

A good bit more to the point:  Ignoring that history, and ignoring the  
future implications for all those who now would energetically engage -  
if their efforts are similarly dashed, because the culture does not  
change, means only pushing the can down the road, to the next reckoning.

Similar regards,  David
