The sad part is their actions are usually the worst option Even the apologists for DCI have to come around to the conclusion by now that Dan A. is incapable of navigating DCI through this tumultuous period of DCI. Its not my call, or course,. but he appears to many to not know how to handle this period well . He's probably thinking " I did not sign up for all this". It landed on his lap, but he looks distressed, maybe lost 40 lbs or more ? DCI needs to start anew with a person that knows how to work with the press when its advisable, and is someone not tied in long term work/ friendship relationships with some of the movers/ shakers in DCI Corps so much. Hard to imagine the apologists for DCI still believe that Dan A. is still the right person to right this ship. Do they want DCI to go potentially go down in flames thinking " " well, he was a good Captain " we still think ?

Cadevilina Crown Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 While we're at it... What about Dave Eddleman, the Open Class Coordinator mentioned in Spenser Lotz's timeline post? Is he equally culpable for not allowing Arsenal to apply to Open Class for a relatively minor problem? I'm not necessarily saying Eddleman is guilty, I'm just wondering why we aren't speaking as much about him as we are Dan Acheson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Eddlemen, according to reports, was simply alerting Lotz of Acheson's decision. It was not Eddlemen's decision to withdraw the Corps upcoming evaluation ( as far as I know, at the moment ). It was Acheson's decision. At least thats how I read the report on how it took place anyway. Edited January 17, 2019 by BRASSO 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a shirt with a big XCI would get the message across if enough people wore them, as a converstion piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of detail and they know to watch their backs around these individuals especially Fred. I worry about them like they are MM its everyone for yourself in the friendly skies of DCI. How many DCP points do I get for that since your keeping tract? Additionally, I am putting my thoughts together on a voided check so I can send them my donation. Looking to donate my tickets and cancel my FLO subscription. So no we just don't sit on DCP and complain, dci's issues are way beyond anything DCP can address.

Stu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I am not defending DCI in their decision to drop Arsenal from OC evaluation. At this juncture I now see it as a jump reaction and rather draconian. That said, did anyone else beside me catch this statement in the article: "Lotz said he had been unaware of DCI’s social media policy but acknowledged that his statement was in violation." Whether or not any of us thinks the decision was draconian, or we point to something like OJ Simpson likely got away with murder due to his star status, an infraction did occur and was acknolodged as such by Lotz. He goes on to defend his Reddit posting, but even he admitted it defied DCI rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can argue DCI over-reacted but you can't argue that what the Arsenal director did wasn't wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
