I have a high regard for Opihikao. I have in the past criticized her for being an enabler. She is by and large dealing with the issues but does not hold some of the other protesters to as high a standard. When she made a read-my-lips It's-not-the-telescope statement and then totally contradicted that when challenged, I felt it appropriate to point out what I consider to be a pattern of inconsistency. Coming from her, given her past record of accountability, I would forgive it. Part of the story though is that this sort of thing enables those who do not have nearly the positive track record that she does, and who don't make themselves available to take the heat like she does. Bottom line is even she can earn herself some criticism now and then when it is warranted.

We were writing at the same time! Mahalo for that and I also appreciate being properly challenged. We all should. Finding balance is my intent, thus my acquiesce to my original statement. My firm belief is this is a much bigger issue than the TMT. This may be part of an entire change in how Mauna Kea is managed, but the bigger issue is the overthrow of the Kingdom (my personal opinion, and the gist of the "movement").

Again, mahalo for the somewhat civil discourse.

Respectfully.

JMO.
