As I have said on a few occasions... where would that get us?
I agree that this was a serious incident... one that was dealt with proportianate to the issue. To pursue and 'knock the stuffing' out of the unit would have a detrimental effect on archaeology. I prefer the gentle persausion variety.... I feel more able to talk to Unit managers on a persoanl and reasonable level rather than facing them across a legal battle.
I know it won't happen again... why? Because if it does.. then it will be noted, reported and there will be no excuse for it.
OK, so public execution has its benefits, but in reality, (and boy have I learned about reality over the past 6 years of BAJR, and 2 years of Hotline) fight the battles that are worth fighting, reason where reason can win, and only as a very very last resort should legal action be taken... its not nice, its not pretty and it has reprecutions that lasts years and affects scores of people.
Me I go for arbitration.
Believe me, that is not the soft option, it is so hard it has nearly killed me... it is responsible though, it is the best way (in my humble opinion IMHO) to operate... the angry kick in the goolies from BAJR is a thing of the past... Yes I have a strange but wonderful mandate built on trust, that allows me to talk, resolve and get on....
I would point people to a more serious issue.... look at the Thread.. Taking responsibility http://www.bajr.org/bajrforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=783
Another day another WSI?
