[quote user="TheAntiGates"][quote user="futuremodal"] The point is, the med trade mags will stick up for their own despite the incredulousness of the Mayo moanings, but for some backhanded reason Kalmbach won't stick up for DM&E. [/quote] So, what you are saying is that you are distraught because Kalmbach will not lower itself to yellow journalism?  Seems more like a virtue than a fault to me [/quote] No, what I'm saying is that it appears Kalmbach did lower itself to a variation of the infamous art, aka a politically correct version of yellow journalism with the aim of blurring the distinction between right and wrong, in this case one where there is a clear right side (DM&E) and a clear wrong side (Mayo). [quote] [quote] How a majority of Rochies do feel vs how they should feel is the diametric twist. [/quote] And let me guess? YOU feel qualified to dictate how the Rochies are supposed to want to feel? Or at least you feel you know how they SHOULD feel, if not for the evil brainwashing campaign they've been subjected to? [/quote] Keep reading...... [quote][quote]  If not for the preposterous scare tactics of the Mayo malcontents, most Rochies probably would give benign approval of the DM&E project.  [/quote][/quote] AKA, if not for the Mayo smear campaign, it is a safe bet that most Rochies wouldn't be so ostensibly objectional to the evil DM&E [quote][quote]  It predictably takes some low brow bottom of the barrel scare tactics devoid of logic and reason to get usually normal folks stirred into a frenzy. [/quote] U'mmm, you mean such as yellow journalism?  [:D] [/quote] I would not put Kalmbach's PCYJ in the same category as Mayo's orchestrated smear campaign. [quote][quote] Question for AG and all other Mayo fanatics:  If it had been UP or BNSF who was proposing this project, do you really think for a moment that Mayo would be putting up such a hissy-fit as it is with DM&E? [/quote] I've still  a deep down suspicion that UP and/or BNSF is somehow behind, or at least supporting the Mayo crusade. [}:)] [/quote] Well, that's one thing we might agree on to some extent.  If indeed BNSF is behind the scam then they are only shooting themselves in the foot, since the DM&E PRB line represents a chance for BNSF to buy into the western most part of the project and provide a secondary outlet for BNSF coal shipments.  UP probably has nothing to gain unless they see the entire DM&E as a takeover target.
