Dear Fellow Flight Lovers,
First off, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Scott Clawson, I am a retired UPS manager who worked in both their operations and security departments. I have just recently aquired a VA, and am very new to this hobby.
What I am not new to is the fact that we have folks who like to steal. Whether it is packages, other peoples ideas, work or just something as silly as a phrase without giving them credit, it is still theft. This is my first post here and I am a bit on the sad side because I was expecting better from this group. Yes we all like to play in the dirt from time to time but wouldn't the easiest approach be to just surgically remove the offending member? Banishment seems to be the easiest appraoch. From my limited knowledge of the situation, it seems that many of the older members here have given these folks numerous chances to correct their ways and they have been ignored.
There are laws that can be enforced for all of the issues that some seem to be having. A simple call to the local FBI will start an investigation. It may not go far because of the "smallness" of the offense, but the offender will be placed on a watch list. They will also be monitored and possibly paid a visit from folks who take these types of issues very seriously.
I hope I have made the correct decision to become involved in the hobby of running a VA.
My best,
Scott Clawson
