So, here's my reply to him:<br /><br />---<br /><br />Wow... way to pull both Nudiarist's and my words completely out of context! I assume that was part of the AANR brainwashing? (I notice a lot of that in their PR.)<br /><br />My words were an example, in an offensive context. A woman taking a gun to an airport is an offensive gesture. Me taking a nude beaches book to the library is an offensive gesture. With the DPR attacking San Onofre, NAC's move was a DEFENSIVE gesture. There is a HUGE difference between the two, and different strategies are needed for each!<br /><br />You seem to think that by giving up one beach, 'biting the bullet', the DPR would suddenly be supporting of the rest. That might work in the business world in an OFFENSIVE strategy, like closing one factory so the company does good overall. But, there is no indication that the DPR had that in mind. Their empty promises held no weight, and were probably said just to get AANR to stand down. More likely, closing one beach would be used as fuel to close the next and so on. We were in a DEVENSIVE mode. Instead of watching our chips slowly slide to the other side of the table, NAC bravely called an 'all in' and hoped to win big.<br /><br />If NAC had won this case, all the AANR people would be quietly figuring out a way to make it look like they were right and that they had won.<br /><br />Hopefully I've clarified the difference between a DEFENSIVE strategy and an OFFENSIVE strategy. Compromising works best in an OFFENSIVE strategy.<br /><br />If you ever get approached by a bear, I hope that you offer up an arm in an attempt to compromise. I, personally, would climb the nearest tree and kick it in the face if it's after me.Academic Naturisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187137403380281966noreply@blogger.com
