I feel somehow soiled. There have been many communications back and forth. The National Bureau is now upset that I want to let others know about what happened to me. They feel I should just shrug my shoulders and look the other way. Historically when this has occurred, in a very short time, things get pretty ugly.
Most world wars come to mind, as well as, most government and business scandals.
Turning your head and looking the other way is just not something I was brought up to do. While I don't like the role I have been forced into, I will not shirk from it. I think it points up the fragility of the balance we all must keep in our business lives. I hope that I am no more harsh with my words and actions than the Bureau would have been with me had my business been one that they had to chastise for inappropriate business behavior to one of my customers. On the advice of my attorney, I will be scanning the communications that have gone back and forth.
