Dakine says people of a different skin color should "shut up and go back to wherever they came from".
You can call that "candor", I call that something else.
I pointed out the hypocrisy in a Civil Beat article written by an anti-telescope person so Dakine
speculates about my mental state, instead of attempting to refute my assertions.
You can call that "candor", I think that's lazy and desperate.
By the way, I agree with you dakine. I hope the negotiations do allow the protestors to save face
so that we can get on with it and forget this shameful sorry episode.
Mr. PaulW, it is my intention to give weight to all opinions, including yours, and others in this thread. Dakine may not utilize the language you expect, however, my choice of words ("candor") applies to your statements also. Being candid is good, no matter your position. In trying to maintain balance, as rainyjim reminds me (which is true) it is "semantics", Sir. With due respect.
Mr. Tucker, mahalo for that link. He is a wise man, and was obviously uncomfortable during the latest interview "Insights, as others tended to talk over him on occasion (Mahalo, Mr. Tom for the link, pages ago):

As of this day, the entities involved are apparently still in discussion. It is of great importance that TMT and the protestors/protectors continue dialog. Any progress is good.
JMO.
ETA: (Because I forgot initially) Dakine, Mr. PaulW may have ancestors who are from here, akin to my forefathers who are not of Hawaiian blood (no more "koko")but are "Hawaiian Nationals". Thus, he is "home", if this is the case. Just saying, for clarity.
