    In my opinion, when a man has the courage of his own conviction and is willing to back it up with his own dollars, that's the man I'll vote for, and that's the man that some members voted for.

    He didn't get on council for personal monetary gain, nor did he launch a lawsuit to seperate members from their dollars. He doesn't operate from a conflict of interest.

    He never thought Canada would be run like another third world country, he thought there were morals and ethics in this country and people's humanitarian rights were protected. In my opinion that's why he is standing his ground.

    Does idispense really have to invent posters to agree with himself to try to sway opinion on this board?
    Just my observations...................
    Miami John Nelson contributed 2 posts and here it was the second post
    secondly there are 2 poster one is Revelation and another poster revlation, different spelling

    Equate it to mere dollars if you wish, but if you do then you are the bigger loser.

    If he wins against the College of Physicians and their review board and wins against the Dr as well as the College then it's a win for all Canadians and their humanitarian rights as well as opticians.

    What would be a huge loss and disservice to optician members would be to do as you suggest -- settle for 50,000.00 and a Non Disclosure Agreement -- that would hide everything from full disclosure and accountability to the membership, and after all it's their rights and their money.

    If membership was smart they'd disassociate the council from membership funding and they'd equalize the playing field as well as start funding this previous council member to protect his rights.

    Membership has a right to transparency, accountability and a voice in this matter.

    I find this whole discussion rather humorous to be honest. Revelation is his biggest fan back to 2014, that's obvious. Even funnier is the three latest aka's Norman Kane, Revlation and John Nelson are all brand new registrants and first time posters, and yet they choose this very boring stale topic to comment on as their first??? I was born at night but it wasn't last night.

    Perhaps the shrink was right and can also diagnose multiple personality poster at no charge.

    Lab:
    Thanks for your Insight.

    Have you ever wondered what a shrink's diagnosis of the author of Harry Pottter would be prior to her becoming famous, had he only read her letters and communications to her publisher, without knowing or meeting either or knowing the context of her writings about people walking through walls and flying on brooms ?

    In the days of candles, before electricity, how would a shrink diagnose the notes and thoughts of Edison?

    In the days of Columbus when the world was thought to be flat, how would a shrink diagnose the notes and communications from Columbus without having the knowledge Columbus had ?

    Why don't we use membership funds to hire 2 shrink's , one a fresh graduate and one from the 1920's , to dissect from notes only, the minds of the POKEMON engineers ?


    Do you really want shrinks for hire postulating from a biased position and reaching conclusion based on info supplied from only one side in a legal battle ?

    Detract and deviate from the issue if you wish, but this newspaper article brings to light how optician membership funds are being used to upset the balance in a David vs Goliath battle. It's time membership put their foot down and dog eared some of their funds to support the other side in this battle. They might learn more.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with being a fan or not. It has to do with justice and what is right. Jay and Chris have both been defamed by the college and some of its officials. In addition, Jay was subjected to the college wasting the members money to try to get dirt on him by giving his e-mails to a shrink who likely charged good bucks to come up with absurdities. Even if I was not a fan of Jay (and I am not) I would protest this action by the college for wasting the members money. Why are you defending them? Why are you not protesting all of this? I suspect you lack the insight that you claim to have.

    When opticians are giving thought to this case and where to spend their subscription and memberships money, they might want to give some thought to this:

    1) who brought Plimmer to justice ? (A) Regulatory Boards ?
    (B) Associations ?
    (C) Peter Silverman ?

    2) who brought Bergez to justice ? (A) Optometry Regulatory Boards ?
    (B) Opticianry Boards ?
    (C) Associations ?
    (D) Health Minister ?
    (E) Attorney General ?

    3) who did anything to stop internet vendors ?

    4) what's your money buying ?

    5) what is your money supporting in this case ? Are you proud of that ?

    Norman........I respectfully disagree with you. John Nelson's first post was in this thread on August 29 @ 04:06am and his second one regarding Hilco was on the same day at 10:48am. Since 04:06am comes before 10:48 am his first post was here. Click on his name and his profile will come up and you can see both of his posts.

    theres a lot of politics by Lab Insight and Golfnorth here on optiboard
    even dr sean petterson of sarnia has the article on the internet
    there are lot of comments on yahoo and reddit, comments are without politics
    obviously these 2 posters [Lab Insight and Golfnorth] , both are against jay hakim and in my opinion have sympathy with the college and have no conscious, wonder how they sleep at night

    Simply put nobody cares, including its members. If they did, this whole thing would have already been settled a long time ago.

    Norman Kane and Norman.Kane are both the same posting aliases. Think somebody is looking for support for his own case??? It's rather a coincidence how his defence team is pictured recently with the plaintiff and is also the contributor to the second link on the same topic years ago. I don't support either side and don't really care, just stating the obvious.

    Blue Jumper There are already 5 threads listed below dating back to the year 2006..............

    This has become a real I said, you said, discussion, that gets nowhere.

    There are already 5 threads listed below dating back to the year 2006 with n the same or similar arguments.........kiddy style.

    No wonder that the large corporations in this profession are getting a better foot hold in the retail business by the minute, as time goes by.

    Chris, you are correct. Although a sad reality, times have changed and nobody cares about the politics anymore. It's become a world of self survival.
