    This is mostly true.  Lets face it, if all you do is argue with them,
    then you are not doing the job asked for.  There are forums for that
    (perhaps not good ones).
    
    There are also background checks and what not.  These are filters. 
    That's why I want people to come to the meeting to bring this up.
