Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alastair" data-source="post: 13462" data-attributes="member: 13">The idea has merit.The problem though, is that some of the folks objecting to the current processes are pretty extreme end of the bell curve, akin to people who think Bill Gates is putting computer chips in the vaccine, that type of thing, they are melded in the same mold.Even on the recent Facebook controversy on the subject there was one of the objectors bringing up covid conspiracy theories to try to prove whatever his point was about the AFB management program, and accusing anyone supporting the agency of having too many booster shots. IE, some of these folks don't even know what planet they are on and will oppose any measures at all, if there is an ombudsman, he will be part of the Deep State far as they are concerned, or certainly his experts would be.The blatant lies being told by some of those folks demonstrates their grip on reality, or lack of.Not trying to shoot the idea down completely, an ombudsman might be able to alleviate some disputes in a neutral way. But I believe some folks will not be swayed by any amount of reason, and never be happy unless they get their own way in all things. Which is to allow AFB to run rampant in their outfit until they are forced out of business and have massively damaged any nearby beekeepers in the process.</blockquote>
