I will no longer be answering any questions here. Several users of SD have made public statements elsewhere on SD accusing me of fraudulent misuse of union funds. They appear to believe this is amusing, and are doing this out of dislike of me, personally. I shouldn’t need to explain that this behaviour is so far over the line as to be beyond the pale.
As a public organization under constant media scrutiny, we can’t afford to let this sort of accusation sit in a public forum, meaning we’ll be forced to get a legal opinion. My feeling is the cost and trouble of a cross-border legal action is larger than what our organization can afford, but regardless of what action we choose to take it is no longer in the interest of the OPU to answer any further questions here. Whether or not I choose to continue to contribute to this forum, it will not be in any capacity as spokesperson for the OPU.
To those of you who asked questions in good faith, I apologize.
